To prepare, simply remove the desired portion from the freezer. You can heat it in a microwave according to package directions, usually for a few minutes until thoroughly heated. Alternatively, it can be heated in a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warm. For a slightly crisper texture, you might spread it out in a pan and let it cook a bit longer. It’s designed for speed and ease, making meal preparation much simpler.
