Meal Prep Week 1: A First Time for Everything

Meal Prep Week 1 consisted of the following dishes:

• Fried Rice, 
• Stir-Fried Beef with Broccolo, and 
• Roasted Vegetables

Yum.

As you can see, the theme was all over the place. Looks like we're in for a fun Asian-themed week then wha-? Roasted veggies? Believe me, together with the other dishes, it tasted just as out of place. I like roasted veggies though, so suck it. I'm an adult! I do what I want!

Kidding aside, please see my very un-cheffy attempt at providing a recipe for the dish that turned out to be the best of the bunch:

Fried Rice 

Ingredients:

• Cooked Rice (better if 1 day old) - 4 to 5 cups
• Frozen Peas - 300g
• Carrots - 2 medium-sized ones, cubed
• White Onion (please don't use red) - 1 large, chopped
• Eggs - 4 pieces but I should have added more, beaten
• Japanese Soy Sauce (must be the one used for sushi/sashimi, don't even THINK of using any other kind) - I probably used up 3/4 of the regular-sized bottle
• Sesame Oil - Just enough to stir-fry the onions
• Salt and Pepper - Amount is up to you, but you can never go wrong with a lot of pepper, just sayin'

Instructions:

1. Add sesame oil to your wok then heat it up nice and good. Then add the white onions and stir fry until soft.
2. Add the peas and carrots and stir-fry until cooked. I usually just taste a bit of it to make sure before moving on to the next step. You can also add a bit of salt to the veggies while cooking to bring out some of the flavor. 
3. Add the beaten eggs and stir them around until they're scrambled and mixed with the veggies.
4. Add the cooked rice and generously drizzle the Japanese soy sauce all over it. Add some pepper for fun. 
5. Mix everything together until it starts to look like the fried rice you see in restaurants. Once fully mixed, taste the rice to see if its salty or peppery enough for you. If not, add more soy sauce and/or pepper. Use salt sparingly since the soy sauce is already salty in itself. 
6. Once it tastes good enough for you, you're done! Portion out the rice into as many containers as you want then eat when desired.

Now obviously, I didn't take much photos this week. I hate taking photos. For the sake of the blog however, I will do my best to take more next week. As I'm sure majority of you already know, blogs are funner when they have more photos.

I guess that's all for now! In the meantime, I'd like to know how this recipe works for you. Are any of you also starting to meal prep? Already meal prep regularly? Are any of you chefs and super good at meal prepping?
