Lean Cuisine Sesame Stir Fry with Chicken - Closeup

Looks: Besides the chicken pieces lacking grill marks and the noodles being just a little too thick, I don't see anything wrong with this meal's looks. I'm particularly struck by how accurate the colors are. 4.5 out of 5

Taste: It's pretty good; the vegetables aren't soggy, the chicken isn't dry, and the noodles are substantial. I especially liked the sauce - sweet, but with a meaty undertone. I don't have much else to say except that this is one of the few "noodles plus vegetables" frozen meals that I'd buy again. 3.5 out of 5

4.5 out of 5?? I think you're being a little TOO critical here. They look nearly identical--especially when compared to some of the looks of your other frozen meals. I'm surprised with the amount of vegetables being accurately represented.



You gave a 5-star rating to the Hormel Meatloaf even though it had some minor inconsistencies. And looking at the box, I think the dark spots on the chicken are pepper flakes, not grill marks.

at first i thought your pictures were just other shots from the box, i had to do a double take.



this looks really good, i've tried a ton of frozen stir fry/ asian cuisine meals and i almost never buy them again. chewy, soggy chicken and flavorless veggies.



i might have to try this one.

Florian on Healthy Choice Five-Spice Beef & Vegetables Cafe Steamer:

Another example where your picture looks better than the box. And as others have mentioned "five spice" is a type of Asian spice and not necessarily hot spicy.

Florian on Kellogg's Chocolate Chip FiberPlus Bar:

I think your pic looks better than the box pic. I don't really like sticky/runny foods.

FoodIRL on Healthy Choice Five-Spice Beef & Vegetables Cafe Steamer:

I have something like this maybe 3 days a week for lunch; other than that, I do actually cook and eat real food. (Except for the pop-tart I have every morning for breakfast.)
