A Week Cheap And Healthy Meal Prep (EP#4)

Welcome to my a-week cheap and healthy meal prep in 60 minutes EP#4. Follow my simple method, you can prepare healthy and balanced meal prep for a whole week in just 1 hour. My secret method is to cook all the chicken and pork at once and then divide them up into different bentos for 5 days. This will save you time, work, and money.

They can be kept in the fridge for 5 days or frozen for 2 months. If you keep them frozen, you don’t need to defrost them. You just need to microwave them for 5 ~ 7 minutes.

Watch how to make:

In the video, you can see how I prepare 2 lunchboxes with chicken thighs and 3 with pork in 60 minutes with these 9 ingredients.

All ingredients you need:

• Chicken thighs 250g
• Pork 260g
• 1 Tofu
• 1 Carrot
• 1 Green bell pepper
• 2 Eggplant
• 1 Broccoli
• 5 eggs
• Scallion

Taiwanese Soy Sauce Marinated Eggs:

150ml Soy sauce
150ml water
1 tablespoon red chopped chili
1 tablespoon chopped scallion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic

You can watch my video to see how to make it, or read my ramen egg for step-by-step instructions. If you’re interested in what you can eat with marinated egg, you can also check out Miso Ramen and Deviled Egg Salad Sandwich Roll.

Tips for soy sauce marinated eggs:

• 1. The soy sauce and water ratio is 1:1 if you eat it on the same day after marinating it for 4 hours. If you want to eat it overnight, 1:2.
• 2. Add some salt to the water. The salt will help solidify the egg so it doesn’t break completely.
• 3. Take the egg out and immerse it in ice water for 5 minutes. If the water is too cold or it is submerged for too long, the egg membrane will shrink and it will be difficult to peel the shell.
• 4. If you use drinking water for soaking, the egg can be kept for 5 days.

MONDAY – Szechuan Chicken

• 125g Chicken thigh
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

• 1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns

TUESDAY – Garlic Scallion Chicken

• 1 teaspoon garlic
• 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce

THURSDAY – Green Bell Pepper Pork or Beef

• 1 tablespoon cumin powder

FRIDAY – Soy Sauce Tofu with Pork

• 60g pork or beef
