Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef, bake uncovered in hot oven until meatballs reach minimum internal temperature, 20-25 minutes.

  • If using ground turkey, bake uncovered in hot oven until meatballs reach minimum internal temperature, 22-25 minutes. 

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim green beans, if necessary.

    Place green beans, 1/4 tsp. salt, black garlic seasoning, and 1 Tbsp. olive oil in one provided tray. Massage oil and seasonings into green beans. Spread into an even layer and cover with foil.

    In a mixing bowl, combine panko, ramen base, ground pork, 2 Tbsp. water, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Form mixture into 16 equally-sized meatballs and place in second provided tray.

  2. 2

    Bake Meal and Make Sauce

    Bake both trays (meatballs uncovered, green beans covered) in hot oven, 15 minutes.

    While meal bakes, in another mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, Sriracha (to taste), and softened peanut butter. Set aside.

    After 15 minutes, carefully remove trays from oven. Uncover green beans. Drain any excess liquid.

    Add sauce (use less if spice-averse) to meatballs and stir until coated.

    Bake both trays again uncovered in hot oven until green beans are tender and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 10-15 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven.

    While meal bakes, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Heat Rice and Finish Meal

    Carefully massage rice in bag to break up any clumps and remove from packaging.

    Place rice in a microwave-safe bowl.

    Microwave uncovered until heated through, 3-4 minutes.

    While rice microwaves, finely crush peanuts in shipping bag.

    Carefully remove rice from microwave. Rest, 2 minutes.

    Fluff rice with a fork.

    To serve, top meatballs with sauce (to taste) from tray. Garnish with peanuts. Bon appétit!
