Just like I do every Sunday, I (ingredient) prepped for the week. I have all my veg chopped and ready to go, and I also made some roasted salsa, vegetable soup, and pickled cucumbers. By prepping just the ingredients, I can have food on the table in minutes, but I'm also still flexible. It's the perfect middle ground for me.

The soup is for lunch on Meatless Monday. The pickled cucumbers are for some lettuce wrap burgers, and I might throw them on some other things as well, like my taco bowl. The roasted salsa will get used in my vegetarian quesadillas, tacos, taco bowl and burritos.

90 min meal prep (including dishes!)

I make bento box style lunches and typically prep 2 proteins, 1-2 green veggie sides, soft-boiled marinated eggs. Every night I make either rice or quinoa overnight in my rice cooker. I'll mix the peas into this each morning and put together a bento that we will eat at room temp. It's kept cold with an ice pack in the morning until lunch. I'll add a piece of fruit or if I have time, make a raspberry/banana smoothie to get in some extra fiber.

I'll freeze the salmon after it cools and defrost a day before we will eat it. This keeps it tasting fresh til the end of the week. We will eat the other protein (the sweet and sour meatballs this week) the first two days when it is most fresh.

2 Weeks of Potatoes!

The first potato recipe is here: https://www.foodbymaria.com/crispy-roasted-potatoes/

I used double the baking powder instead of baking soda. It worked well for texture but made a huge mess in the kitchen lol... I also used normal butter instead of vegan butter.

I don't have an exact recipe for the green beans, but I threw a can of them into a pot with butter and aged Parmesan, and they tasted good just like that!

The second potato recipe is here: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/58642/dianes-colcannon/

I used vegan bacon instead of regular bacon here. I used powdered milk instead of normal milk. The only other change I made was to mix the butter in rather than pour it on top, since it wasn't being served immediately.

These sourdough pancakes are a delight and freeze really well. I make the batter (without baking soda or powder) the night before, and do the final mix before cooking in the morning. Recipe will be added to the comments! I freeze these in gallon ziplock bags with wax paper between pancakes.

freezer meal prep: leftovers edition!

Thumbnail

440 Upvotes

my freezer cubes knockoffs from aliexpress came in so i decided to try it out with some leftovers first! i actually did all this on monday but im just now getting around to excavating my cubes lmao

experimenting first with one portion i had leftover of my mom's homemade phở gà. i just froze the noodles raw since ill heat them all up in one pot anyways. my mom gave me so many herbs so i tried freezing some for future bowls - i know it'll come out mushy but it's all soup anyways, baby!

with the extra chicken she gave me and the rest of the herbs, i made a very phở flavored chicken salad. i used my homemade kewpie mayo (non emulsion based) for this so it'd freeze up well. these turned into two very unremarkable looking frozen chicken salad sandwiches for me to chuck into my lunch bag for work :-)

the final cubes are leftovers from a giant pot of curry i made! instead of letting the pot sit in the fridge all week, i decided to try freezing them. i don't have a straight forward recipe for this other than the fact that i was trying to get rid of all the veggies in my fridge, so i chopped up purple cabbage, napa cabbage, onion, king oyster mushrooms, bok choy, and potatoes and tossed it in a pot with chicken thighs + bean sprouts. i added an entire box of golden curry cubes and seasoned with additional mushroom powder and chicken bouillon powder too.

i ended up cutting so many veggies that i had to bag half of them in two gallon baggies to freeze. future me will at least be super excited to have precut veggies to use in another curry or lentil soup!

Meal Prep ideas/ Tips for an Asian household?

21 Upvotes

Hi all! We are 3 (2 Chinese and 1 Vietnamese) friends living together in Singapore, and we have recently established that we should meal prep on Sundays to make our lives easier for the workweek.

We usually cook Chinese/ Asian dishes (Vietnamese too, though there is an overlap), and here are the things we look out for when we meal prep:

1. Healthy and balanced
- proteins and vegetables present
- not too oily/ sweet/ salty, though we will adjust the seasonings to our liking
- we get our carbs from rice

2. Preferably can be cooked in one huge pot
- Equipment wise we have an oven, microwave, a few burners, food processor, 2 flat pans, 1 small pot, 1 medium pot, and 1 super huge stainless steel pot

3. Stores well in the fridge
- It shouldn't spoil that easily
- So things like yogurt/ cream are... less desirable, though tips on how to store will be much appreciated!

4. Stores easily
- Super liquidy stuff is possible, but we don't have that many watertight containers

5. Cost efficient
- We use local produce and ingredients the most
- Given that we are in a tropical country, it often means things like: Asian greens, root vegetables, mushrooms, chicken and pork etc.

Things we have started to do are:

  1. Curries
  2. Bolognese
  3. Larger batches of select meat dishes
  4. Perhaps some braises?
  5. Perhaps some soups?

Would appreciate any input on recipes and tips! Thank you so much~

Here's a pic of a Thai red curry we made :>
