Sainsbury’s is to expand its ready meal offering with a leap into pan-Asian cuisine, looking to tempt consumers with restaurant-style flavours.

The new lineup is in response to the evolving tastes of its customer base, with Japanese, Korean and Thai among the fastest-growing cuisines in the UK according to the retailer, which cited recent data from Google.

“Our new range of meals are inspired by some of the bold and vibrant flavours you’d expect in popular Japanese, Indonesian, Korean and Thai dishes, so our customers can easily enjoy the foods they want more of, without the expense of travelling or hassle of scratch cooking,” says Sainsbury’s product developer Katy Winterbottom.

From beef bibimbap to gochujang chicken, the range is available now in stores and online, with mains priced at £4 and sides £2.50
