Sesame Ginger Chicken Shelf Stable Dinner
I liked this one, it was a little watery, I may remove the plastic for part of the heating cycle to thicken it up or add a LE of Instant Rice partially re-hydrated with 1/2 the water before heating so it picks up the flavor and thickens the broth. I will reorder this one once I use up the other two.

I like this one too, it is very saucy so the last time I had it I nuked a bag of stir fry veggies and poured the entree over them, the sauce was just right to cover the veggies and make it a big meal.0

I did something similar when I had this (for the second time) the other night. I used a whole steamer bag of "Asian Inspired" veggies to go along with it. It was a mixture of carrots, baby corn (counts as a veggie), broccoli and snap peas, with a small amount of some type of Asian seasoning. It went very well together and ... the fact that I ate a whole bag of veggies

Hi Lesa
I'll have to try that, I have two left and one more in my latest order, whenever that gets delivered.
Thanks

Hi Amanda
I do have some fresh Snap peas in the refrigerator I can add in. I am trying to use up the last of my frozen dinners to make room for the upcoming delivery so I do not know if I'll use them there or elsewhere.
I believe that Baby Corn counts as a Vegetable due to being low sugars and high fiber.
Have a Nice Day

Correct. Per dietary services it counts as a vegetable.
I assume it has something to do with the fact that you eat the 'cob' part of it. Similar to how snap peas count as a veggie while traditional peas count as a SC. The outside 'casing' on the peas and the center 'cob' on the corn must add enough fiber to help make it a veggie rather than an SC.
I don't really know but it doesn't really matter I guess -- I get to eat baby corn and snap peas as veggies. I'm happy. haha0 -

Hi Amanda
I hope You have a wonderful Holiday Weekend
I think You are right that it is the fiber from them that makes the difference.

Had this last night and it turned out great. I usually buy only Frozen but decided to give this a try. In the morning, I cooked the (Shirataki) rice in about a cup and a half of water with 1/2-3/4 Tbsp of Simply Asian seasoning. The water tastes salty, but the rice turns out great. After the rice was cooked, I drained it and spread it out on a paper towel covered plate then put it in the fridge uncovered. Helps to dry it out. At dinner time, I nuked the veg in a bowl big enough for everything; added the rice and heated; nuked the NS meal per directions and added it to the veg and rice. There was the perfect amount of sauce to generously coat the 1 cup each of veg and rice and all in all a great one dish meal.
1 pkg Shirataki Rice and 1 cup Asian Blend Frozen Veg.0
