7-ELEVEN-Premium frozen side dishes sold at 7-ELEVEN are insanely excellent! Just heat it in the microwave to complete it, so it's useful even on busy nights.

This time, we will focus on three items: "bacon spinach" (162 yen, tax included, same below), "potato and bacon" (162 yen), and "grilled vegetables" (213 yen). Each is a frozen cooking kit that mixes several kinds of ingredients. The volume of one bag is enough for two people as a side dish.

◆ Bacon spinach

Bacon spinach is a mixture of spinach, corn, onions and bacon. You can fry it in a frying pan or heat it in the microwave.



I warmed it in a 500W range for about three and a half minutes and sprinkled with salt and pepper to finish it.


The umami of bacon fat is entwined with the fresh spinach. The trolley, soft onions and crispy corn are sweet accents. When you cook in the microwave, you may want to add a piece of butter and warm it to make it look like stir-fried butter.


It can be used as a side dish as it is, or as an ingredient for ramen and omelets.

◆ Potatoes and bacon

Potatoes and bacon are a combination of Hokkaido potatoes, onions and bacon. You can also heat it in the microwave or stir-fry it in a frying pan. This time I warmed it in the microwave.



Yeah, it ’s good! The sweetness of the sticky potatoes, the sweetness of the soft onions, the savory umami of bacon and the faint saltiness are well-balanced. It has no taste as it is, so it is recommended to lightly salt and pepper after chilling in the microwave.



You can fry it in a frying pan to make it look like German potatoes, or you can put it in a stew or consomme soup while it is frozen and simmer it.

◆ Grilled vegetables

Grilled vegetables are a mixture of Italian zucchini, eggplant, red peppers and yellow peppers. After thawing in the microwave, you can eat it as it is or arrange it for other dishes.



Warm in the microwave and lightly salt and pepper.


Vegetables that are moist and soft in the mouth while leaving a crispy texture. It also has a grilled, brown and savory flavor. I thought the eggplant was wrinkled and okay, but when I tried it, it was juicy.


However, rather than eating it as it is, it may be better to put it in pasta or curry, or add it to meat or fish dishes.

◆ The most delicious thing was ...

Of the three I ate this time, my personal favorite was potatoes and bacon . The taste of the ingredients is also alive, and I wanted to drink beer with this as a snack!


If it is a microwave oven, it will be a little soft, so if you heat it quickly with a toaster after thawing, the water may fly away.

7-ELEVEN frozen side dishes that can be arranged freely depending on the idea. You can save yourself the trouble of washing and cutting vegetables, so you don't have time to cook for yourself! Why don't you take advantage of it?
