A 13.23-ounce frozen bowl of Vietnamese-style beef pho, built around rice noodles, seasoned beef, and a broth flavored with basil, cilantro, and other aromatic herbs. Trader Joe’s keeps it in the freezer case as a single-serve meal, and it’s meant to go from frozen to hot in about six minutes in the microwave or around ten minutes on the stovetop. Compared with the rest of Trader Joe’s frozen lineup, this leans more broth-forward than saucy. The noodles stay separate from the liquid, which helps them hold their shape during reheating. Beef is distributed throughout the bowl, and the herbs sit in the background rather than as a garnish on top.
