An Apple Eats: Meal Prep Week2

Hi! Hello! 👋

Welcome to another blog post of my An Apple Eats blog series.

In this blog I am sharing with you my meal prep last week.This meal prep is a bit simple but it took about 5 days for me to finish because I've been losing appetite lately.

When I went to get groceries, I saw some chili con carne mix but I don't think it was enough for a few days worth of meal so I had the idea of making a few burritos with it. I also did lazy style teriyaki chicken for protein.

Here's what I made:
Nothing fancy here

Menu
  • Brown Rice - cooked as usual
  • Hard-boiled eggs - 8mins then cold water bath
  • Chili con carne burritos
  • Boiled brocs
  • Teriyaki chicken
  • Banana
Recipes
Teriyaki Chicken

I unfortunately did not take pics while cooking this one. I think I was lazy. So here's just after it was cooked.

Dinner

  • About 2kg chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 3 tsp sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • sesame seeds - I ran out of the normal ones so I used black sesame seeds
  • oil
  1. Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces. And fry until brown in a preheated pan. Remove chicken from pan.
  2. Mix soy sauce, honey, mirin, and sugar and pour mixture into the pan. Let it simmer until a bit thick.
  3. Add back chicken into the pan and coat with the teriyaki mixture.
  4. Serve and drizzle sesame seeds.
Chili con Carne Burrito

Wrapping the burrito

Wrapped burrito

  • 300g ground pork meat
  • 1 pack chili con carne mix
  • 1 can red kidney beans
  • left over rice (I had about 200g for this)
  • pre-packed lettuce salad mix
  • 8 tortillas
  1. Cook meat until brown in a pan. Then add chili con carne. Let meat absorb the flavor for a few minutes.
  2. Add in rice and beans. Let it cook for 10 mins.
  3. Let it cool.
  4. In plate, place a tortilla and scoop a decent amount of cooked chili con carne, and add some lettuce.
  5. Wrap it tightly and wrap with foil.
  6. Optional: You may freeze it and store for a bit longer.

You may reheat it directly into an oven (not microwave oven) with the foil.
Or unwrap the foil and reheat in a pan.

My lunch the next day
