The $5.99 Aldi Dinner That Beats Takeout on Busy Nights

Recently, I had a craving for Chinese food, so I ordered some from my local spot. It was a Friday night, so I figured that delivery would take a little longer than usual. But after almost 90 minutes with no food, I got concerned. I checked my delivery app. It showed the order was delivered.

I ran to my front door. Nothing. So I pulled up the app and checked the delivery photo, and I didn't recognize the porch. Turns out, the driver took it to the same address in the next town over. I got a full refund, but I still had to make dinner.

That's when I wished I had one of my favorite Aldi Finds in the freezer to scratch that itch. Luckily, Aldi has just brought back its best frozen meal: Fusia Asia Inspirations Beef & Broccoli. It's all the flavors and convenience you love about Chinese food—but with no prep, cleanup, or delivery fee.

What I Love About Aldi Fusia Asia Inspirations Beef & Broccoli 

It is $5.99 and carries no delivery fee. Beef and broccoli is, without a doubt, my favorite Chinese dish, and I'm honestly salivating thinking about it right now.

What I like best about this Aldi Find is that it doesn't skimp on the beef or sauce, unlike some other frozen meals. It's a well-balanced mix of rice, broccoli, and beef plus a deliciously savory garlic soy sauce. I appreciate that the sauce comes in a separate package, so it doesn't make the food too sticky during reheating.

And unlike other frozen meals, this one doesn't leave me hungry after about an hour—it has 16 grams of protein per serving. It's also ready in 11 minutes, hitting that sweet spot for a delicious freezer meal: fast, easy, and inexpensive.

There is also another version of this $5.99 frozen meal for anyone who doesn't love broccoli: Beef Lo Mein. This version features beef, lo mein noodles, carrots, bok choy, and onions, all served with the same savory garlic sauce.

As a messy person, I don't always have the patience for these very slurpable noodles, but many of my friends prefer this version. What, you don't compare notes on Aldi Finds with your friends?

Like any good Aldi Find, there is no guarantee how long it will stick around. If you want to load up your freezer for a rainy day, now is the time to do so. That is, if I don't buy all of them first!
