While we were at Fry's, we were looking for an quick and easy microwavable rice that would go with some Asian food. While I'm not usually a fan of Uncle Ben's rice, we still decided to try some of Uncle Ben's Jasmine Ready Rice.

The Uncle Ben's jasmine rice was pretty easy to cook as it just took 90 seconds in the microwave. While the rice had the nice aroma of jasmine rice, it didn't really taste or feel like jasmine rice. The grains were also a little slick and oily or something. It was OK as a quick, side of rice, but it wasn't great.

OK

Similar to Kroger's Korean kalbi beef, Kroger's Thai coconut curry chicken came in a sealed bag with easy microwave instructions.

The chicken was like grilled chicken thigh meat, and it had a little bit of gristle. The curry was a thick sauce, and it tasted like a very sweet coconut curry. While I would have preferred the curry to be less sweet, I was happy that the sweetness didn't totally overwhelm the entire taste, so I was still able to enjoy the coconut curry taste with the chicken.

REVIEW – Kroger Korean Kalbi Beef

We decided to try some Korean Beef Kalbi (in addition to some Thai Coconut Curry Chicken) we saw at Kroger / Fry's that was on clearance. The beef came in a sealed bag, and it was pretty easy to cook following the microwave instructions.

The kalbi beef pieces were pretty good pieces of meat. The kalbi sauce was thick, and it had sort of the taste it's supposed to have, but it was too sweet. Unfortunately, it tasted more just like a regular American bbq sauce than a Korean one.
