To prepare, simply remove the outer packaging. You can heat this meal in a microwave or on the stovetop. For microwave heating, vent the film and heat on high for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. On the stovetop, transfer the contents to a saucepan and heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally until thoroughly heated. Ensure the meal is piping hot before serving for the best flavor and texture.
