To prepare this meal, remove the outer packaging. If microwaving, vent the plastic film covering the tray and heat according to the package directions, usually for a few minutes until thoroughly heated. If oven-baking, remove the meal from its tray and place it in an oven-safe dish, heating until hot. Stirring halfway through the cooking time can help ensure even heating. Allow it to stand for a minute before consuming.
