Save money on making your daily lunch! At the business supermarket, where you can find commercial foods with good cost performance, you can find a wide variety of side dishes for lunch boxes. This time, we will introduce 4 recommended products focusing on frozen foods that are easy to store.

■ Chicken shop's plum shiso cutlet


A cutlet made by wrapping domestic chicken breast in a garment mixed with red perilla and plum meat. In addition to frying in oil, it can be cooked by frying with less oil.



The breast meat is moist and juicy without being dry. The refreshing plum batter wipes out the oiliness and goes perfectly with rice. It tastes good even if you don't put anything on it, and it's delicious even when it's cold, so it's perfect for a bento. There are other chicken cutlets and crispy chicken in this series, all of which have a reputation for being delicious, so be sure to check them out!


■ Shrimp dumplings


Shumai wrapped in fish, pork, and vegetable bean paste. Thaw in a microwave or steamer. When heated, the chewy skin overflows with juicy flavor, and the oyster sauce is effective for a fairly authentic dim sum taste. The color of the shrimp on the colon is also good.



■ Frozen thick roasted egg


Thick roasted egg with a different taste that is made by blending domestically produced eggs with raw soy milk made in-house. The thawing method is natural thawing in the refrigerator or 20 minutes in a water bath. With a smooth and soft texture like tofu, the gentle sweetness and taste of soup stock spread. It's more like a datemaki than omelet. It takes a little time to thaw, so it's better to prepare from the night before.


■ Tomato sauce with hamburger cheese


Choose tomato sauce from the amazing cospa frozen hamburger series that costs 95 yen with 155g (5.47oz). Thaw in a water bath for 15 minutes or transfer to a heat-resistant container and heat in a microwave.


Because chicken is used, it has a lighter taste like meatballs than so-called hamburger steak. The sweet and sour tomato sauce goes well with cheese, so I wondered if it would be good for children among other lineups. By cutting one serving, it becomes the perfect size for a lunch box, and considering that it can cover the family, the cost performance is too good!



Frozen side dishes that will help you just by thawing even if you are not preparing your lunch. Of course, it is also useful for daily menus, so if you are unsure about what to buy, please refer to it!
