So I worked close to home and would go home for lunch and cook some frozen mixed vegetables by boiling them in water for 4 minutes. Now I have a new job that's not so close to home, but I still want to eat my mixed vegetables.
The office has a microwave. How can I do this? Do I cook them in advance using the normal boiling method, and then put them in the fridge until I take them to work? Or can I just put some frozen ones into a container, take that to work, and microwave them?
Defrost them overnight, take them in a plastic container, nuke covered. You'll perfect the timing after a bit. Put on butter and salt, enjoy perfect steamed vegetables. Microwaving from frozen sounds like unnecessary hassle

Frozen veggies don't come in steam bags where you live?
I do this all the time, fill up a little tupperware container with frozen vegies the night before to dethaw in fridge and just microwave it at work the next day or like a minute with the lid loosely over it so theirs room for the steam to escape, works just like a steam fresh bag.

Great, thank you, will try it. Do you add a little butter/salt after microwaving, or before?

Yes, it's real, sorry, I'm a microwave idiot, I basically never use it. I'm planning to just put the frozen veggies in a container in the morning, keep it in my bag at the office (so they should thaw out through the morning), and then for lunch just put it in the microwave for a minute or so. That should do it, right?

No need to thaw. And additional 45 seconds in the microwave will melt the ice.
Either buy the steamable freezer bags that you can chuck in the microwave or put them in a microwave safe bowl with a little water and nuke it.
1. Put vegetables in container/bowl
2. Pour in a teaspoon of water
3. Cover with damp paper towel
4. Microwave for 2 minutes
5. Lift towel and mix up vegetables a bit
6. Microwave for 2 more minutes
7. Drain water
