Alongside the star ingredient in this stir fry mix, other vegetables that have been aded to create a rich, well-rounded flavor include: green peas, peppers, grilled corn and spring onions.
This time-saving meal pouch can be prepared in a matter of minutes, whereas Trader Joe's describes: "Were you to create this dish from scratch, you’d be looking at close to an hour of prep & cook time."
