Microwavable Asian Meals

This Frozen Asian Dinner is a Quick Veggie & Noodle Microwave Meal

— January 9, 2015 — Lifestyle
Once heated up, it's hard to tell that Sam Choy's Yakisoba Noodles came from a frozen Asian dinner packet. The boxed dinner is meant to be kept frozen until it's ready to be warmed up in the microwave, which only takes about three minutes. A box of the Asian-inspired noodles contains six single-serve packets, complete with noodles, savory sauce and a variety of vegetables like cabbage, pea pods, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms and bell peppers for a well-rounded dinner.

Although the simplicity of this meatless dish has appeal for vegetarians, this is also a quick and easy way for meat eaters to prepare a quick base to add a desired amount of animal-based protein to. On its own, a single serving of the Yakisoba Noodles contains 12 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber to keep you full.
Trend Themes
1. Convenient Meals - Creating more pre-packaged, microwaveable meals with a variety of options and flavors can save time and provide convenient meal options for busy consumers.
2. Meatless Products - Expanding the options for meatless products can attract vegetarians and meat-eaters looking for healthier, plant-based options.
3. Healthy Fast Food - Developing healthier and quick meal options can appeal to health-conscious consumers looking for fast meals without sacrificing their dietary goals.
Industry Implications
1. Frozen Food Industry - Investing in research and development to create more microwaveable dishes can help companies compete in the busy marketplace of frozen foods.
2. Food Delivery Services - Incorporating more healthy, convenient options like the Yakisoba Noodles can attract health-conscious and busy consumers seeking meal delivery services.
3. Plant-based Food Industry - Continuing to invest in meatless alternatives and expanding product lines can appeal to vegetarians and meat-eaters looking for healthier and more sustainable dietary choices.
