Anyone else tried the frozen broccoli beef stir fry from Costco

If not, you're missing out on an amazing product.

I don't usually rave about frozen meals, but holy crap this stuff is good. I felt lazy buying it at the time because I usually make Chinese food from scratch. It comes in kit form with a bag of beef, a bag of REAL vegetables, and a bag of sauce. It costs about $4.50 for about 5 or so very generous servings. A single serving cooks up in about 5 minutes in one pan.

It's very close to authentic and so worth it for the price, great if you're out of work or single and spending way too much money on takeout. It beats the hell out of TV dinner versions.

1. Get rid of the beef and it sounds pretty good.

No dead animal parts, thanks.

2. I'm about 95% vegetarian, but my question for you is: how are the sodium levels?

There are some good frozen foods out there, but soooo very many of them are really high in sodium and sugar. Is it a Kirkland product, or who makes it?

Wonder if they have a chicken version - my husband would probably like that.

3. I don't know, the box was thrown out before I could check.

It tastes about average sodium wise, it is MSG free, I saw that on the package.

I've tried the Orange Chicken at Costco and I wasn't as good because the chicken was pre-deep fried. Reheating made is soggy, not a problem with the beef.
