Ascending Butterfly Summer Quick Food Pick Sponsored By:

Summer in a New York City apartment gets sweltering to put it mildly and when the heat is on, and I go from work straight to evening events, the last thing I want to do when I finally get back home is cook, especially when the apartment is already as hot as an oven!

I try to avoid fast food as my first option all the time for many reasons, and as a result like to have a variety of fast, easy to prepare offerings at the ready.

Not to mention sometimes I arrive back so late that the fast food options are closed already, what do you do when you get home from an event, it's after midnight and your favorite Chinese Take Out is already closed and you really want Chinese Food for dinner?

That's where Wanchai Ferry comes in. I remembered recently after coming home from a late night event that offered 'light' apps and water that I had some Beef and Broccoli in the Fridge, Wanchai Ferry to the rescue!

The newest Wanchai Ferry flavor, Beef & Broccoli, is the first beef dish in their line of great-tasting, complete Chinese meals for two. Ready to serve in only 14 minutes, Wanchai Ferry Beef & Broccoli comes with tender beef strips, and an assortment of Asian-style vegetables, including broccoli florets, red peppers and water chestnuts. It even includes rice and a rich brown sauce accented with soy and garlic for an authentic flavor experience.

I was pleasantly surprised after I prepared it that the brocolli cooked up just right, not overly firm, not soft or mushy and the water chestnuts had a fresh burst of flavor and just the right snap (not even my favorite take out place always gets the brocolli right!).

8 different meals are available:

• 
  
  orange chicken
• 
  
  shrimp lo mein
• 
  
  spicy garlic chicken
• 
  
  sweet & sour chicken
•

•
