Authentic Asia has announced the launch of a new, innovative line of single-serve frozen meals highlighting authentic, regional flavors of Asia, restaurant-quality ingredients and at-home convenience.

The new Authentic Asia entrees from Bellisio Foods deliver a delicious and convenient dining experience through a takeout-style design and a unique two-tray single-serve package. The innovative packaging allows rice and noodles to cook separately from the protein, sauce and vegetables, ensuring each meal maintains authentic taste and texture and provides consumers a takeout-style experience with the ease of the microwave.

"Our new single-serve meals are crafted to bring the rich, genuine flavors of Asia directly to your table," said Anat Julintron, CEO of Bellisio Foods, the U.S.-based subsidiary of Thai-based Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF). "We have focused on maintaining the integrity of traditional recipes while incorporating modern packaging innovations to enhance at-home dining. Additionally, the packaging is designed to address busy lifestyles with on-the-go meals for easy consumption."

Authentic Asia's newest meals feature seven recipes inspired by Thailand, China and Korea:

• Thai Style Coconut Curry Chicken (inspired by Khoa Soi) – White meat chicken, Thai-inspired noodles and a Northern Thai-inspired coconut curry sauce.
• Thai Basil Stir Fried Beef (inspired by Pad Kaprao) – Seasoned beef crumbles, jasmine rice, green beans, roasted red peppers, chilis and a bold Thai basil sauce.
• Drunken Noodles (inspired by Pad Kee Mao) – Thai-inspired rice noodles, vegetables and a spicy Thai chili sauce.
• Sichuan-Inspired Chicken (inspired by Gong Bao Ji Ding) – White meat chicken, rice, green beans, carrots, onions and a spicy Sichuan sauce.
• Orange Chicken (inspired by Chen Pi Ji) – Breaded white meat chicken chunks, fried rice, mixed vegetables and a tangy orange sauce.
• Korean Inspired Beef Noodles (inspired by Jajangmyeon) – Korean-inspired noodles, seasoned beef patty crumbles, onions, cabbage and a sweet & savory bean sauce.
• Kimchi Fried Rice (inspired by Bokkeum-Bap) – Rice, kimchi, stir-fried vegetables and a Korean-inspired gochujang sauce.

CPF has more than a century of success in the food industry and continues to honor its tradition of culinary excellence and innovation. Developed in collaboration with chefs across the globe, the new Authentic Asia recipes feature high-quality, traditional ingredients, with sauces sourced directly from Asia.

"Today's consumers are seeking more adventurous flavors in the frozen aisle," said Jeff Tuttle, senior vice president of brands at Bellisio Foods. "Our deep-rooted connection to Thailand allows us to bring truly authentic tastes right to your home. It's remarkable that the essence of distant places can now be enjoyed at your dining table—an experience made possible through our unique innovation."

The new Authentic Asia single-serve meals will be available in the grocer's freezer section nationwide, including major retailers such as Walmart, Meijer, and Hy-Vee.
