Shawarma Style Chicken, Hawaiian Style Grilled Chicken and Korean BBQ Style Chicken are some of the newest [frozen single-serve meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleserve-rice-cup) to be released by [EVOL Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-frozen-meals), which put a focus on both convenience and exploring ethnic cuisines from around the world. As EVOL puts it: "Everyone has their favorite Korean BBQ or Shawarma spot, but finding those flavors conveniently in the freezer aisle can be difficult to impossible -- especially meals that are made with real ingredients."

All of these new globally inspired entrees can be found in the freezer aisle of the groery store, and health-conscious consumers will be pleased to know that that they do not contain any [artificial flavors, colors or preservatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proper-good-soups).

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Global Flavor Fusion:** Exploring and combining flavors from different cultures to create innovative new dishes.
- **Convenience Meets Authenticity:** Providing easy-to-prepare meals that are made with real, high-quality ingredients and authentic global flavors.
- **Clean Label Convenience:** Offering single-serve meals that are free from artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives without sacrificing convenience.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Frozen Food:** There is an opportunity to disrupt the frozen food market by offering globally-inspired, authentic meals that are convenient and made with real ingredients.
- **Ready-to-eat Meals:** The market for ready-to-eat meals can be disrupted by offering a wider variety of globally-inspired options that are both convenient and contain clean, real ingredients.
- **Ethnic Food:** The ethnic food industry can be disrupted by innovating and reimagining classic dishes by combining global flavors in an authentic and convenient way.
