An Apple Eats: Meal Prep Week 3

Hi! Hello! 👋

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

I have been busy with stuff so I couldn't keep track of my meals lately. But this week until early February, I have some spare time or more likely no scheduled activities so I will be able to note down some meal prep that I plan to do.

Yesterday, I was able to cook up a little bit that I thought would last for a few days.

Menu:

• Brown rice with furikake
• Sautéed meat and veggies
• Baked eggs and veggies
• English muffins

Recipes

Sautéed Meat and Veggies

• 2 small potatoes diced
• half a large carrot diced
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 3 tbsp honey
• half cup water
• 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
• 500g pork

1. Start by pan frying the pork until a little bit brown.
2. Add in the the garlic until it's fragrant. Make sure to stir occasionally.
3. Add all remaining ingredients, cook and simmer until liquid thickens, creamy like consistency.

Baked Eggs & Veggies

• 6 eggs
• 1 cup of corn, carrots, and green peas mix (can be bought from the grocery)
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 180c degrees
2. Scramble eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper according to liking.
3. In a wide baking pan, brush some cooking oil and pour the eggs.
4. Scatter the corn, carrots, and green peas mix.
5. Bake for 15mins.

English Muffins

• 300g bread flour
• 120g water
• 1g salt
• 1 packet instant yeast (3g)
• 15g sugar
• 20g butter
• 1 egg
• cornmeal for dusting

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl except for cornmeal. If using a mixer, let it knead for 5 mins med-high. If kneading by hand, knead until smooth.
2. Store and cover in a large bowl. Let it rise in a warm place until double in size.
3. Punch the dough lightly to de-gas.
4. Divide into 12 small doughs and form into a small ball.
5. Roll each dough into the cornmeal, cover the whole dough ball.
6. Flatten the dough and let rise again until double in size.
7. Preheat a frying pan (must be flat and no oil needed).
8. Cook each dough in the pan for 5-6mins until golden brown. Place some baking paper on top of the dough and then place something heavy on top to flatten the dough a bit, heavy plate or other utensils will do, make sure it's heat resistant. You may cook as many as you pan can accommodate.
9. Remove the plate and flip the dough and cook for another 3-5mins until golden brown. No need to put a plate anymore for the other side.

Thought it would last long but that night I ate almost half of the meat dish 😆 It only lasted until the next day. Eggs and rice until day 2. Only english muffins left 😆
