Sliced beef comes in a black bean sauce with peppers, served alongside egg fried rice in a frozen ready meal. Rice has egg folded through it, so you get separate grains rather than a clumped side, and the black bean sauce carries a savoury, slightly fermented depth that coats the beef strips evenly. In the Asia Specialities frozen range, it sits with other ready meals built around a sauce-and-rice format rather than a single stir-fry component. Heat from frozen in the microwave or oven, depending on the pack instructions, usually in about eight to ten minutes. Peppers keep some texture after heating, adding a bit of crunch against the tender beef and soft rice.
