Just in time for Chinese New Year, new savory chicken and pork dumpling appetizers and family-size skillet meals are being added to the P.F. Chang’s Home Menu range of frozen products in North America. Lending a hand to assist Chicago-headquartered Conagra Brands with the launch is television celebrity, actress, dancer and singer Carrie Ann Inaba.

Made with quality ingredients and authentic sauces, the dumplings offer a high meat-to-vegetable (shredded cabbage and sliced scallions) ratio and complement the flavor of P.F. Chang’s Home Menu skillet meals. Eight pieces come per 8.2-ounce box.

PFC Family Size Orange Chicken fwAdditionally, Chicken Fried Rice (featuring white meat, carrots, edamame, onions and eggs) and Orange Chicken (battered white meat with spicy orange sauce, carrots, water chestnuts and edamame) skillet meals are now available in 36-ounce (1.02 kg) family-size packs.

“Families increasingly crave bold flavors, fresh-tasting ingredients and convenience when eating at home, and our new offerings provide more options to create a complete Asian meal in less than 12 minutes,” said Derek Wong, brand manager. “As with all P.F. Chang’s Home Menu recipes, the new meals are based on the P.F. Chang’s Bistro and were co-developed with restaurant co-founder Philip Chiang to bring authenticity and accessibility to the classic recipes.”

Her tips include everything from preparing a family-style feast – the traditional way of enjoying Chinese food – to serving symbolic foods and decorating with red and gold, colors that hold significant meaning in Chinese culture.

“I have many wonderful childhood memories of Chinese New Year festivities, so for me it’s important to both incorporate ethnic heritage into my adult life and share my culture with others,” said Inaba. “One of my favorite ways to do this is by celebrating with a traditional dinner party. It’s a great way for anyone – even those who aren’t Chinese – to start the Year of the Rooster with intentions for luck, prosperity and abundance – all while enjoying delicious food with their family and friends.”
