Mandarin Style Orange Chicken Bowl

"It's no secret that Trader Joe's Mandarin Orange Chicken is one of our absolute all-time great items. It consistently ranks in the very top tier of our annual Customer's Choice Awards, it inspires odes and articles from fans across the internet - if we had a Product Hall of Fame, there's no question that it would be one of the first inductees. It's even a hit among our Crew. In fact, based on a Crew Member's suggestion, we began exploring the idea of a rice Bowl that featured our Mandarin Orange Chicken. After a few months of experimentation, we finally got the tastes and texture just right, and Trader Joe's Mandarin Style Orange Chicken Bowl was born. Made for us by the very same supplier as our original Orange Chicken, each 13 ounce Bowl features five ounces of tender, battered chicken leg meat, fried to perfection. That chicken is placed atop a hearty bed of savory, seasoned, fried rice, mixed with a medley of chopped veggies including carrots, broccoli, shallots, peas, and crunchy water chestnuts. When mixed together with the included packet of orange ginger sauce (the same recipe as in the original, in fact), it makes for a zesty, crunchy, one-stop, takeout-style meal that's ideal for office lunches or quick weeknight dinners. An even more convenient form of Mandarin Orange Chicken? We must be dreaming! Gladly, Trader Joe's Mandarin Style Orange Chicken Bowl is very real, and a very real value at $3.99 per 13 ounce Bowl. Look for it in the freezer case at your neighborhood Trader Joe's."
