The Minute Rice Garlic Parmesan and Veggie Stir-Fry Cups are Microwaveable

The Minute Rice garlic parmesan and veggie stir-fry cups expand the brand's microwaveable meal range with two ready-to-eat varieties that cook in one minute. Designed for quick meals and snacks, the garlic parmesan option is intended as a side dish or base for proteins and vegetables, while the veggie stir-fry variety combines seasoned rice with carrots, bell peppers, corn, peas, and soy sauce. The additions broaden the brand's selection of single-serve rice products for home, work, and on-the-go meals.

Both varieties are prepared in BPA-free microwaveable cups and are made without preservatives. The products are certified gluten-free and require only one minute of heating before serving. The garlic parmesan flavor offers a savory accompaniment for chicken, seafood, or vegetables, while the veggie stir-fry option can be eaten alone or paired with a protein for a larger meal.
