To prepare, simply open the bag and place it in the microwave. Follow the heating instructions on the package, typically involving microwaving for a few minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is hot. The steam-cooking method helps retain the vegetables' texture and flavor. You can also adapt this for stovetop cooking by transferring the contents to a skillet with a small amount of water and heating until done. The teriyaki sauce coats the vegetables as they cook.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh vegetables that require washing, chopping, and separate seasoning, this product is pre-portioned and pre-sauced. The steam-in-bag method is designed to lock in moisture and flavor, offering a different texture and taste compared to pan-fried or boiled vegetables.

How to keep the rest
After preparation, any leftover cooked vegetables should be cooled and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume leftovers within a few days for optimal freshness and quality. Do not refreeze cooked vegetables.
