To prepare, simply remove the outer packaging. You can heat this meal in a microwave or on the stovetop. For microwave preparation, pierce the film on the rice and sauce compartments and heat according to the instructions on the packaging. If using the stovetop, transfer the contents to a saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly warmed through. Ensure the meal is piping hot before serving for the best flavor and safety.
