I made this prawn brie cheese pasta and it turned out so good. The original recipe didn’t have much protein, but you know we always hit our protein goal, so I added prawns. It tastes like restaurant pasta but healthier! Make this for your girlfriend […]
Dinner
Korean Rolled Mandoo with Prawn and beef (굴림만두, Gul-rim Mandoo)
This dish is called Gul-rim-mandoo in Korea, and I’ve been craving it ever since I came back from Korea. The best part is you don’t need to make any wrappers. You just shape the mixture into a ball, roll it in starch, and it’s ready […]
Sweet & Sour Chicken, Mushroom & Tofu Stir-Fry (4 days of meal-prep)
Another nutritious tofu dish! 🥢 I paired it with noodles this time, but you can enjoy it with rice if your carbs allow, or just as it is! This dish even passed Lee’s taste test (and he’s not a big tofu fan 😆), so I’m […]
Witch soup for cutting (7 days of meal prep)
This is the best way to use up all the leftover veggies in your fridge and at the same time, fill it back up with a week’s worth of healthy meal prep! It’s an easy way to hit your protein goal, stay full with wholesome […]
Dak Bossam (닭 보쌈, Rolled and steamed chicken)
I made this recipe right after coming back from Korea, inspired by the movie The Solitary Gourmet. It turned out just as delicious as real pork Bossam! Even though I used lean chicken thighs, the meat wasn’t dry or tough at all! It was tender, […]
Baked bean and Eggplant stack
I originally wanted to make eggplant lasagna, but then Minseo Kim, the mad food scientist, decided to experiment with something new. Lee insisted it has absolutely nothing to do with lasagna—so I guess I can’t really call it that. 😆 Anyway, I truly enjoyed this […]
Prawn and celery soup
If you’re looking for the best way to use up a bunch of celery – you’ve come to the right place. I actually threw this soup together because I had way too much celery and onion left in the fridge, and I’m heading to Korea […]
High Protein Pork Pilaf
I made this for Lee’s family at a family lunch, and everyone — even Lee’s mum — loved it. (Lee had two servings, by the way 😋). It’s high in protein, high in volume, and meal-prep friendly. Enjoy!
Low cal Zucchini Frittata with ham
This zucchini frittata was really easy to make, high in protein, and great for meal prep! Strangely, it tasted even better the next day than when it was fresh. I forgot to mix the ham in with the egg and zucchini, so I ended up […]
Japanese Cream Stew
When you go to an Asian grocery store, look for the House Cream Stew block! 🥘 It’s an easy, high-protein, and comforting meal. Perfect for meal prep, and if you want more volume, just add broccoli, and cabbage with a bit of extra seasoning.
