Josh's videos are a breath of fresh air! No time wasted, no annoying music, just pure culinary efficiency. Love the straightforward approach. Making this recipe this week! Thanks!
I also like that he acknowledges the terribleness of vegetables but still works them in. And he also gives prepared options alternatives (like for the cabbage).
The ground meat and veg dishes are a great weeknight go-to for me. Easy to change the flavor profile with different sauces to avoid boredom. If I’m super lazy, I’ll just grab a bottled sauce or marinade - buffalo is a staple, but I love the various Asian flavors as well. I often keep bags of frozen veggies stocked up, so it’s super fast to pull together.
I look forward to new drops from Josh on meal preps. Recently I've been avoiding meal prep due to laziness. This was one to kick my a** back into it again. I can imaging the flavor! Thanks Josh for the kick, and please tell your boss so he doesn't beat you.
I usually do freeze most of my meals and then take the next days out of the freezer and put them in the fridge the night before. This seems to help with the 4-5 day old funk prepped meals get leaving them just in the fridge that whole time.
I just got a Zwilling vacuum seal set for Christmas! I also grabbed the gold membership off your website during the New Years sale. Super excited for all the new meal and snack prep I’m gonna be able to do
I made this yesterday and am actually eating it as I type. I had to comment immediately… This is FANTASTIC. Seriously delicious. And SO easy. This one will be a go-to. Thanks, Josh!
I just have to say how delighted I am to have found your channel. Practical, full of great teaching because of knowledge base, and you just happen to be hysterical. I have really been investigating the meal prep video world on TH-cam and although I enjoy SOME others - I will end up using this channel as the guide. Thank you.
1st meal prep of 2024 was a hit. while shopping i forgot to grab a head of cabbage but then, as i was about to turn around, i remembered i still had kimchi in the fridge i haven't opened yet. i think that enhanced this dish to another level. That and i added a bit of red chili flakes for an extra kick. Making Asian food brings me joy as it takes me out of my comfort zone of typical American cuisines. Will definitely make this again
I see this in my future. I'm loving your recipes. My family of 7 loves them. It just is one meal instead of 5 :). I've been throwing small white lentils into our rice for extra protien & fiber.
I have to thank you for your channel and all the work you put into it! You’re the reason I got into meal prep and thanks to that (and a heavier focus on my exercise) I’ve lost 10 kg during 2023! Thank you so much and please keep up the good work!!! Also, these videos are perfect. Straight to the point and easy to follow for even the most unexperienced novice.
This is a quick easy and excellent recipe. Thank you very much. I altered the recipe just a little bit with some Thai basil and some toasted sesame seeds.
I love your highcal recipes! Recently started making breakfast burrito's inspired by you; Chorizo, eggs, onion, red&green bell pepper, strained salsa and cheese. Tastes great and 600kcals in the mornin is a lot better than 3 slices of dutch bread with a topping.
Just made this as my first ever meal prep for the week, loving it so far. Does anyone have any tips to stop the beef drying out when reheating in the microwave?
not this exact recipe, but it's exactly as you said, this similar type of stir fry was my first attempt at meal prep almost 2 years ago, works really well
Def gonna try this one. But that certainly isn’t 1/2 tbsp of oil there. Looks more like 3/4. Not even like every drop of oil goes into the food once you drain/cook it, but at 120+ cal per tbsp that adds itself into the macros real quick.
Second video watched. I don’t give out subscribes easily, but your content definitely earned one. No frills, how-to videos without all the nonsense I see on youtube. This is a perfect recipe video, easy to stop and start to follow along as I prep. Thanks a ton.
nice recipe!!! didn't do it so I cannot really have an opinion, but I think that adding a little rice vinegar on the sauce might help with some acidity!
I really need to start meal prepping. Im about to the most busiest guy i will ever be soon. I need to do meal prep as if im only eating twice a day. My goal is to very slowly lose and add more time in my life, so doing this is vital. So 2 meals a day, so 14 meals that need to be made, idk ill convert that in yout version
I know. I told him probably two years ago that they should make one and I gave them the dimensions of what I think would be best and they said they’d send it to their product team but I haven’t heard anything since then.
It’s hard to substitute gochujang because it’s so unique. I would experiment with adding more sweetness like extra honey to try to balance out the spice.
There is! Ssamjang to be precise. Its a mixture of gochujang, doenjang, sesame oil and garlic. I use it myself because I don't like too much heat either :)
Josh has stated for non- chicken dishes he microwaves for a minute on high heat, stirs & the 30 second intervals until hot. For chicken he reduces the power so as to not dry out the chicken
Does anyone else feel like he gets way more volume in his videos than in the actual recipe? Every time ive made something of his, i never have nearly enough rice, or it seems like i have not as much of the main entree, despite it adding up calorie wise. I dont think its my meal prep boxes either, they look about the same size.
the last time i took a poll more than 50% of people who answered said that they use frozen or precooked rice. Plus the preparation method and type of rice can lead to different amounts of cooked rice so it's much easier to just use cooked rice most of the time
Whatever you need to do to fit into your calorie target. Chicken is certainly lower calorie but you can still eat beef and lose weight if you maintain a caloric deficit
You work 5 days a week and don't have time to cook which is what the meal prep is for. The last 2 days you are off and have time to cook/eat out /wahtever.
I wanted to get into meal prep with your recipies(especially the chicken fajita one). However the marinate became too stiff and I had to add a lot of oil. Additionally I've read rice shouldn't be stored in a fridge more than two days and it should be put there no later than 2 hours after cooking. Otherwise it becomes toxic. TBH the prep didn't really go as planned and the next day I didn't even feel like eating this meal and I was also afraid about the rice going bad in the fridge so I have thrown everything out. I am not saying it's your fault or anything like it. I am just sharing my experience since I really wanted to get into meal prep but perhaps I am just that bad at cooking.
Look up some official food safety guidelines in your country, so you don't keep tossing food. It definitely helps to have some basic cooking experience before deciding to batch cook anything. You can always freeze your leftovers for a future date when you actually feel like eating what you made. You've got this!
Yeah, I guess so. For me living in Germany, its hard to find ground chicken, so I almost always have to make my own. The only ground chicken they sell here is the one thats about to go bad so they season it a bit and make ground chicken
Thanks dude! Before your youtube channel i was afraid of cooking, but just the amount of money i am saving and how easy are your recipes have made trying meal preping a thing for me. Thanks. I am two weeks into this, and now I am looking forward to cooking. 🫡

1:01 1:03 Josh I asked a question yesterday about how to adjust this for 70 people. I know the ingredients amount. It is how to adjust the sauce.

What are amounts if fixing for 70 people? It 5:12
@@maureenbrown5165 Multiply the amounts by 14 lol.
Love the recipe! My sauce: Gochujang, Shaoxing, Mirin, Rice wine vinegar, Toasted sesame oil, dark soy, ginger and garlic.

Looking forward to making this one! I love gochujang. I'm rocking your sausage, broccoli, carrots, beans and rice recipe this week.
Will try this out today. Already got the Gochujang from one of your older videos. Just need some beef, a carrot and a cabbage.
Just made this, awesome meal prep, it tastes great and it was super easy to make. Keep on keeping on!
Really can't wait to try this. Im new to this. Do you just put it in the microwave to reheat? Also how long?
Made this tonight and its so good!
I eat your Buffalo Chicken Rice Bowl recipe religiously for work lunch, it might finally be time to try and cook something else, this looks great
Just made this, and it was great. Subbed in turkey for beef to shave the calories a bit, and it still turned out awesome.

I shouldn't be so excited for meal prep videos but here I am driving the Hype train for shredded cabbage!
lol
Looks really good, the veggies add nice colours to the dish. Gonna try it out in couple of weeks.
Tasty meals bro. I prepre about 4-5 of your meals and it was good bro
This looks fantastic and so easy to prepare. Thanks heaps.
I've made this 6 or 7 times now, love it! Would it be OK to add corn flour to make the sauce thicker / bind to the veges?
Just finished making this, very tasty ... Tnx much appreciated ... 🙏
Legendary as always my man

Ribbon carrots with rough chop is the prep sauce juju shortcut I've been looking for cutting up carrots
This is super helpful as a beginner! I plan on making my rice every day, what would the macros be not including rice? Thanks!
Just made this as my first ever meal prep for the week, loving it so far.

Great stuff, love the Asian style...
nice recipe!!! didn't do it so I cannot really have an opinion, but I think that adding a little rice vinegar on the sauce might help with some acidity!
That would be great 👍
What are the conversions from fresh garlic/ginger to the powdered stuff?
How spicy is the gochujang for those of us who’ve never used it before ?? I’m not a fan of to much spice at all, luv your meal prep btw
I don’t think it’s spicy but I like spice. I’d say this meal is like a 3/10
What is gochujang? I can't find it in uk supermarkets. Is it just a chili sauce, so could I use siracha instead?
The way you hold your utensils is interesting.
What do you think of a chicken bacon ranch slider meal prep? I’m mainly tryna think of a good slider meal prep without veggies
As long as you stored them separate from the bread I think that would be fine
@@TheMealPrepManual okay bet thanks
That fork holding though 😂😂
Top with sesame seeds too
I subbed the rice for Shirataki rice or Shirataki noodles. A 150g is only 5 calories and still gets my wife full.
Amazing 🤩

Can you freeze this?
What is Gochujang? Where does a person find it? My local Asian Market doesnt have it from what I can find?
Look for something that says Red Chili Paste. Usually comes in a smaller square-ish red and white plastic container.
What's an alternative for Gochujang?
i NEED MORE BIG BOY MEALS NOW!!!
Tomorrow 🫡
@@TheMealPrepManual if you make it tomorrow I make it tomorrow.
It looks like the link to the recipe might be broken. Looks great though!
Hmm that’s weird. It’s working for me
@@TheMealPrepManual Weird! It's working now for me too. Thanks for responding!
What soysauce do you recommend to avoid gluten?
I use tamari
what is a good brand of rice to get at walmart? I just normally buy the cheapest option
I’m not sure what brands they have at wal mart but my favorite kind of rice is calrose rice
How much kimchi would you substitute for the cabbage? 1 to 1?
Yup. Maybe a little bit more
Yummy ☺️
I feel very safe and at home watching your videos bc it’s all H-E-B products
Don't suppose you have a milder alternative for the Gochujang? Don't handle spice well :D

microwave

@@Just1Guy1000 Thanks 🙏
I use the microwave
are you able to keep it up to 7 days ?
I don’t keep any meals in the fridge past 5 days.
How do u reheat them x
I just made this, its a fuckin banger
Guys if you are in an extreme calorie deficit use cauliflower rice instead of rice
Half and half works well too if you still want some rice
can you use gochujang paste instead
Yeah
Hey josh since im a hindu and cant eat beef what meat should I use
Whatever ground meat you prefer would be okay
Thanks josh
Does anyone else feel like he gets way more volume in his videos than in the actual recipe? Every time ive made something of his, i never have nearly enough rice, or it seems like i have not as much of the main entree, despite it adding up calorie wise. I dont think its my meal prep boxes either, they look about the same size.
Is that a new pan? I like the triple "move to the outside of the pan" move. Also the music is very distracting
No I’ve had this one for a couple of years now
Just tell us how much uncooked rice to use. Why confuse things?
the last time i took a poll more than 50% of people who answered said that they use frozen or precooked rice. Plus the preparation method and type of rice can lead to different amounts of cooked rice so it's much easier to just use cooked rice most of the time
@@TheMealPrepManual oh, OK thanks
If you're going for weight loss, always swap out beef for chicken breast. 90/10 is still too many calories for weight loss.
Whatever you need to do to fit into your calorie target. Chicken is certainly lower calorie but you can still eat beef and lose weight if you maintain a caloric deficit
Josh sounded sick in this video 😅😅
I always noticed you say "for a week" but there is always only 5 dishes...
Weekdays
You really wanna stretch a recipe out for one full week? Alright bro
You work 5 days a week and don't have time to cook which is what the meal prep is for. The last 2 days you are off and have time to cook/eat out /wahtever.
Yeah I mean for the workweek. I wouldn’t prep 7 days at a time

You could always reduced the number of servings if you are worried about it, or freeze the excess.

You can always freeze your leftovers for a future date when you actually feel like eating what you made. You've got this!
hi
Yo
High calorie chicken breast recipe 😊😊😢😢
Thats hard to do because they are so low calorie and hard to get right for meal prep without overcooking

This not easy bro. Too much prepping.
I mean as he said if chopping veg is too much work for you then you can pay to have it pre chopped for you
Buy a food processor its fast
Okay sorry
You can buy pre-chopped veg or even frozen veggies. You do have to put in a little effort, you know...
Thanks dude! Before your youtube channel i was afraid of cooking, but just the amount of money i am saving and how easy are your recipes have made trying meal preping a thing for me. Thanks. I am two weeks into this, and now I am looking forward to cooking. 🫡
