Meal Prep Power Salad (5 Days)
Asian-Inspired Grain Bowl with Ginger-Sesame Dressing & Curry Tahini Sauce
Base (cook once):
• 2 cups uncooked brown rice or quinoa (makes ~5 cups cooked)
• 1.5 blocks firm tofu or a bag of soy curls, cooked (pan-fried or baked)
• 4–5 cups chopped romaine or shredded cabbage mix
• 3 cups steamed or roasted broccoli florets
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
• 1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds or chopped cashews
• 1 avocado (slice fresh daily, optional)
⸻
Ginger-Sesame Dressing (zippy + light):
Whisk together:
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp neutral oil
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or sugar
• 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
⸻
Lemon Curry Tahini Sauce (creamy + bold):
Whisk together:
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp curry powder
• Salt + water to thin
⸻
How to Pack It (5 containers):
In each container, layer:
1. 1 cup rice/quinoa
2. A handful of greens or cabbage
3. 1/3 cup tofu or soy curls
4. Veggies (broccoli, carrots, peppers)
5. Sprinkle sesame seeds or cashews
Keep sauces separate in small containers or jars and pour on when ready to eat. (This keeps everything fresh and not soggy.)
⸻
Tips:
• If tofu is pan-fried with soy sauce and garlic, it stays tasty all week.
• You can mix up dressings during the week for variety (e.g., day 3 = ginger, day 4 = curry tahini).
• Both sauces keep well in the fridge for 7+ days.
