A 16-ounce bag of frozen fried rice, built around short-grain rice, cha siu-style pork, sweet corn, peas, carrots, red bell peppers, and green onions. The pork is marinated in a sweet-savory mix with soy sauce, brown sugar, spices, miso paste, and beet juice powder for color, then folded into the rice. It cooks from frozen in a skillet or microwave, and the rice stays closer to the softer, stickier side than the long-grain style common in many frozen fried rice bags. Compared with other Trader Joe’s Asian-style frozen meals, this one leans on the pork marinade for most of its flavor.
