This was my dinner tonight, and something I buy every week to two weeks. You can find this in the salad section. It's so good, I usually can't wait to eat its spicy goodness and have it for dinner right after I get home. It's meant for two people, but I call BS on the TJ's marketing and usually eat the whole thing. Once you pop, you just can't stop, ifyouknowwhatI'msayin'.
The Good: If you like slightly spicy peanut sauce and cilantro, this item will be right up your alley. It has some julienned red cabbage and carrots scattered in for a much-needed crunch. The chicken pieces are firm and tender, and there are plenty mixed in with the pasta. It's satisfying, hearty and friggin' awesome. I wonder if they sell the peanut sauce seperately in their store. I will investigate... Oh, one other thing. It comes equipped with a handy-dandy plastic fork for which to indulge. Score.
The Bad: Sometimes the red cabbage is cut really long (think 4 inches) and it's a war between your mouth circumference and the length of the cabbage. Head tilt one way - nope. Try the other way - dammit. Red cabbage:1. Gaultry:0. Plus, the one bad thing about having a utensil included is that it's pretty much embedded itself into the pasta once you buy and open it, so it can be a little greasy. Be prepared to pick some cilantro and/or rogue pasta off of the indents in the back before you chow down.
Overall: I really had to think of bad things to say about this. It's truly good.
I am not sure about the peanut sauce, but it still sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorites, too. I split it -- half for lunch, half for dinner. Sometimes I add extra cabbage and/or julienned snow peas if I have on hand.
