- Add 1/2 cup of water and cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent.

5. Cook the Beef Patties:
- Season each Angus beef patty with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- Microwave on high for PT5M (5 minutes), flipping once, until they're cooked through with an internal temperature of 160°F.
6. Warm the Stir-Fry Vegetables:
- In a microwave-safe dish, spread out 2 cups of frozen stir-fry starters.
- Cover and microwave on high for PT4M (4 minutes), stirring halfway through.
7. Prepare Bread (Optional):
- If desired, follow the instructions on the frozen bread dough for baking or microwaving the loaf.
8. Assemble the Fusion Bowl:
