The way you hold your fork while eating is....unique lol
Absolutely barbaric is what it is.
I agree
literally like me hahahah
@@SkandiTV Right✠I cringed watching it. đ
ITS BARBARIC. JUST SAY IT! lol. i doubt he will care anyways, when the food looks that good, shit, id use my fingers to scoop it up.
Korean twist, sub Franks for Gochujang (fermented chilli) add light soy sauce & sesame oil to create a delicious sweet-savoury-spicy sauce. (Basically what is in Bibimbap)
Bringing this meal prep to my hospital shifts and its already making me insanely happy. Thanks for the recipe!
same here dude, working in healthcare is toxic af
sorry but thats not a dish, thats the most shitty leftovers/ stuff u have around mixed together. eat better, feel better.
@@Hansgame better than throwing the left overs in the bin am i right?
@@Hansgame it's rice beef and veggies. Not sure what you're thinking it is
â@@swagm8919Nah. I also work in healthcare. It's only day shift that's toxic at my hospital. Night shift is chill af.
This recipe is absolutely phenomenal. I'm brand new to cooking and trying to start eating healthier and saving money by meal prepping, and this has become my go-to dish.
Super impressed with your stirring skills, one whole serving would end up on the counter if I were using a shallow pan like that
Such an underrated skill to have.
@Jesus has given you all. Repent or die. try

and 144k to 147k in a day based on when your comment was posted.
hes helping people with weight loss and youtube algo rewarding him

After many countless videos. I cant express how simple and easy you make this prep recipe look! đȘđŒđȘđŒ
for anyone thinking of making this:
do it!
by far his best meal prep out so far. been making it weekly for a couple months now and havenât gotten sick of it. You can sub the brussels for broccoli or ground beef to ground turkey. Doesnât matter. Tastes great all the way around!
Love your responses on "how long to microwave" "until hot" and "why not use glass containers" "don't like 'em" (and nor do I). I'll for sure try out this recipe. Thanks for the gram measurements!
Yeah as much as microplastics are gonna be terrible for human health they are also basically unavoidable at this point lmao.
@@budder2970 they're pretty avoidable but ok
Glass containers are just expensive. And then you buy a glass container kit or something and it comes in all different sizes like wtf I bought two 6 pack of microwavable Rubbermaid containers from walmart for like 7 bucks.
@@brewtalityk They're really not. They're in everything. Hell, you fucking INHALE them.
Gonna do this with bison. The dude puts out the absolute best meal prep recipes.
Thank you đ
was just thinking that. I got 2 pounds of bison in the freezer.
Brian Shaw enters the chat > Did somebody say bison?
@@narcissus79 just wait until he hears duck fatâŠ
I get the butcher box bison meat. Love it. If you happen to use it in this recipe lmk! Look forward to it.
This recipe IS a real winner, I've made it four times as of tonight. I like to double the recipe and split it into seven portions to last two weeks, since my lunch schedule varies. I also replace the poblano peppers with jalapeños (which is 4 jalapeños since I'm doubling the recipe) which gives a nice Asian level spice. Sprouts are kept in the oven 16 minutes. Takes about 1.5 hours for me since I'm cutting two pounds of brussels sprouts.
Made this for meal prep this week and it was DELICIOUS. I ended up adding more red pepper flakes and kept the poblano seeds in because we like extra spice. Loved it!
I love how straight to the point and succinct your videos are. The simple but effective recipes are so helpful in comparison to most other meal prepping videos which are either too basic or just don't have the right kind of macros to be a satisfying meal.
"I mean they're Brussel Sprouts, at best they're a 3 out of 10 anyway."
Lol I used to think that too. It takes a bit of effort but you can get them to an 8. Air-fryer is spot on. Spray them with a cooking oil (50/50 extra virgin olive oil + water in a spray bottle works great, you want a flavorful oil), salt, white pepper, nutmeg and ground koriander (seeds). When properly roasted, toss in a nice coat of agave, serve with a dash of roasted paprika and roasted walnuts.
With agave you mean like a syrup or actual tequila? Probably a stupid question, but I've never heard of agave in the kitchen..
@@matthi591 Yeah agave syrup is very popular as a vegan sweetener here. I guess because we don't get a lot of maple syrup.
@@matthi591 Iâve used agave syrup as a replacement for maple syrup before and theyâre really similar in taste
Boil them in salted water (20-30 minutes). Add a little bit of pepper and a good amount of nutmeg.
That's all. 10/10
Why do they have a bitter aftertaste? Is it because they are a condensed flavour of cabbage? Lol
"People always ask me for times on the microwave... I don't know you wait until its warm!" The honesty đ
Just made this, the honey garlic chicken, and two of the oatmeal breakfast bakes to start off the new year. Took less than three hours total and the whole house smelled delicious. Even my picky 12 year old wanted to try it all. Thanks for the great food and inspiring all of us to prep.
I did something like this for a while for meal prep that was on of my absolute favs. I did Korean bbq sauce with mushroom, onion, garlic, zucchini and red Chile flakes for heat as well. Saucy beef and rice dishes are awesome for meal prep because they taste great all week while say, chicken breast tastes completely different after a day in the fridge
Well, that's the weakness if you already cook it.
Jesus and a sinner commenting on this? Lol what is going on
Would you get bored with same food everyday?
@@deziking thatâs why you only do it for 1 meal for 3-5 days. Ideally, you would also meal prep breakfast lunch and dinner. At the end you make something different for the week
Chicken breast is so dry reheated the next day. Canât do it.
Made this tonight using hot honey since it was the only honey I had. Itâs fantastic! Youâre always coming through with the best recipes!
7 years to develop rice and meat with vegetables. Amazing.
I am impressed. This is the first time I see anyone push the ingredients with the back of the knife instead of the edge, I thought I was the only one... I like my knifes to stay sharp as long as possible.
Also, you get plus for not using teflon pans, metric system included and straight to the point with well explained recipes. Well done, you earned yourself a subscriber!!!
What's wrong with teflon pans?
@@James-vw9yy The nonstick coating bleeds into your food over time and gives you cancer as well as you have to replace them every 3-5 years.
I'm so glad CZcams recommended you to me.
I love these recipes that you made. It is healthy and taste amazing!
Straight forward and these meals ACTUALLY have flavor.
Hey! Me and my friends are all trying to lose some weight and I made this, as well as the pork pancit recipe you have. This really helps me not over eat or constantly keep eating randomly. I'm combing this with fasting and I hope to see a little bit of weight loss from it all.
Also this was INCREDIBLY tasty. Thanks for the great vids!
I love that you are very specific with your measurements it makes it so much easier to follow along. Thanks for being so specific with everything lol it helps a lot!
I really appreciate that you're adding weights in grams as well - it makes everything so much easier!
Josh: "This recipe makes five servings."
Me: So two, right?
I think that's like one day or a little more worth food only
I donât agree â3 out of 10 anyway.â Love the sprouts â€ïž! 10 out of 10 for me. Thanks for this recipe. Iâll be making this really soon.
i know right :D i'm from brussels so i might be biased but they b 10/10 baby
Boiled and then use mayo as dressing. 10/10. Fried over butter in a pan, 10/10. You canÂŽt never go wrong with them sprouts! *Try broccoli friend in a pan with butter and add a little bit of white sugar and black pepper. Nasty good
Just subscribed to you, man! Love your channel. Everything is short & concise, while still having the necessary details.
Your videos are the perfect length - you say everything you need to, and you get out; as opposed to every CZcamsr these days, thinking they need 10+ minute videos.
Keep it up, man! The growth of your channel is well deserved.
Made this tonight and it was so good. Brussel sprouts arenât my fav and honestly they arenât bad in this. Thank you so much!
Just made this tonight with a frozen veggie mix (broccoli, cauliflower, etc) since husband doesnât like Brussels sprouts and it came out great and was so easy to make! I look forward to trying more of your recipes.
Just ate my first plate of this, and itâs very good! Itâs on the spicier side for sure. Not hard to prep at all and pretty straightforward. Thank you!
dude I just made this and I'm shoveling this right into my mouth-parts as we speak. so good! thank you very much as always, you make the best simple/no fuss but great tasty-time meals, love your commitment to shoving veggies in everything (even if you don't like them - I love em!)
I made this for my family yesterday, and they loved it. I'll definitely be trying your other recipes.
Sundays are my mealprep days and literally just made this. Ate one tonight and it tasted fantastic, thank you for the recipe!
Glad you liked it!!
Great meal prep ideas! Also, props to using both imperial and metric measurements for those of us across the pond!
I cooked this for my wife today. We both loved it! thanks
I really loved this recipe. I've been trying to cook from scratch more and this meal made it a lot easier/tasty. I started liking brussels sprouts more after having them in this recipe too. Very easy in the air fryer.
Some tips for those who are looking to cut some calories out of this dish. Use half ground beef and half ground Turkey (reduces calories but still get the good taste of the beef), cook only half of the rice and substitute the rest with riced cauliflower ( you wonât even taste the difference). Good recipe đđŒđđŒ
Half beef, half turkey is absolutely BRILLIANT
Iâve started bringing these meals into the office for lunch and everyone loves the smells! Thank you and great work :)

The misses has made this recipe of yours a few times now; it's become one of our favorites. Thank you!
My second time making this I absolutely love it. Thank you
Babe wake up new meal prep video
Dude, this is some of the best food I've ever cooked! The sauce is delicious! Thanks for this recipe!
I'm subscribed to many CZcams cooks, and your meal prep videos are by far the best. Simple, to the point, and looking delicious. Already did the chicken last night.
Love that you list the weights as well. Best way to cook.
Dude youâre a legend, Iâm so grateful I found your channel!! I love to cook and am happy spending a couple hours making something nice when I have the time, but Iâm trying to prioritize more time in the gym and less time cooking. I donât want to sacrifice 95% of the flavor of a dish like many meal prep folks tend to do, so seeing your approach makes me feel like I can actually stick with it!! Thank you!
if your goal is bulking then gym is best but if youâre looking to cut then food prep/intake is wayyy more efficient at dropping weight than even quite a bit of cardio
I've been looking for good youtube content for meal prepping with high protein and came across this video. Made the recipe the next day and LOVED it. Easy subscribe, gonna binge your content and pick out some recipes to try each week. Cheers!
@Jesus has given you all. Repent or die. No thanks, I choose death.
Hey in the hot sauce can I use Sriracha?
For microwaving, you can also microwave the rice first with a hole in the center (helps with the heat dispersion) then take it out and heat up the beef with the rice after. That way your rice wont be half warm while your beef is smoking hot. It also prevents your veggies from becoming absolute mush from overheating them.
Made this tonight and I absolutely loved it. Itâs gonna become a staple.
Always happy when I see you upload a new video!!
đđ
Man that looks tasty! Iâve always wanted to get into meal prepping, might have to give this a try. Great video, much love from Texas!
John I just discovered your channel today, and you really make awesome content and recipes while keeping things straight up. Thanks and keep up the good work
Josh.... I have followed and made several of your recipes. This one is the "BOMB" Keep them coming.
I really loved the deconstructed Big Mac so Iâm definitely going to love this! Thanks for the great video, Iâve been making a shawarma greek yogurt marinade chicken, rice, and a low cal garlic lemon aioli with garlic lemon broccoli itâs something worth checking out and prep is relatively easy if you marinate the chicken 1 hour before
That sounds so good!! Do you think you could post the recipe here if you have some time? I'd love to try it.
@@wishbot132 yeah for sure, 1 tsp each of cumin, coriander, sumac, all spice, turmeric, pepper, 1 tbsp of salt, 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 5 garlic minced, 1 lemon squeezed, 1/3 cup olive oil, mix all together. 4 chicken breast marinaded at least 6 hours. Cook in cast iron skillet in the oven 450 for 20 minutes or a baking sheet if you donât have one
Put on the broiler for 5 minutes to give it a good crust if you desire
For the sauce I mix 5 garlic minced, 1 lemon squeezed, 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup mayo, salt and pepper to taste.
I also do either rice or potatoes
I'd already chosen this recipe for my lunches next week and was just going to use the written version on the website. Then you drop a đ„ video to make my life easier - great stuff!
đđ
I appreciate your no nonsense presentation
Just made this! Itâs so good thank u! Looking forward to trying more
I'm making this one today! I've tried several of your prep recipes now and they have all been great.
I did a banana walnut version of your oatmeal bakes last week and it was really good. you should try it out!
Oooh that sounds awesome đ
I am new to the channel and I love the extra humor. " I don't know you wait til it's warm " đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł thumbs up video
Thank you đ
One of the best One meal prep recipes that I have ever seen. I will try this. Thanks
Made this tonight and it was really good! Thanks for the easy recipe chef!
With the small off chance that you haven't tried them, I personally love ikea's 365+ 34oz glass containers, I find they are perfect for me when I meal prep. I prefer the plastic lids with removable gasket with "snap-ons"(dunno what they're called) on the side, really like how securely they sit on there, the bamboo lids are trash on the other hand. But yeah, storing it in plastic containers while cold and transferring to a plate before heating is a good enough solution in the meanwhile, until you finally find those perfect glass containers, hope they show up for you one day.
This recipe is legit! I'm currently eating it and man I love this. I was a little worried that there wasn't enough sauce, especially given the corn starch, but holy crap was it good. the only thing I changed was using cholula instead of Franks hot sauce. I couldn't imagine adding more vinegar to Frank's. This recipe is fantastic and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone watching.
great review - I was thinking Frank's was a weird choice too
Totally agree regarding the glass containers
Super delicious and easy! I would recommend anyone trying this to try 2 limes instead of 1 as it really kicks it up to the next level
I use the Pyrex and anchor Hocking glass bowls. The round bowls are completely air and liquid leak proof. The rectangle will leak a little.
I love your recipes!
Anchor Hocking is the bomb. Love the snap it makes lol
Swapped out the Brussels sprouts for diced bite sized potatoes (Iâm bulking so looking for some easy added calories), and itâs absolutely incredible. The sauce is perfect too. I think this just became my #1 favorite meal.
I used real peppers instead of flakes and I love it. Very easy and delicious.
Fantastic! I love it!!! Definitely going to try this!!!
This is a fantastic recipe because of its adaptability. I substituted a bunch of stuff and it turned out well anyway. I used brown rice, japanese chilli flakes, 1/2 the meat, a different kind of hot sauce, slightly less honey, and regular white onion. Still was delish!
I didn't have hot sauce so i mixed tomato concentrate with a little chili flakes and water! And also less honey. Worked out perfectly!
@@grejuli97 Wow I wouldn't have thought of that. Versitile as hell.
just dont use anything recommended in the video, call it the same, there u go...
dude, u made another dish.
@@Hansgame but it is still based on this recipe. Variation is not necessarily sonething completely different. I get your point though
I made this. I love it.. but am I the only one who was confused with the taste. Chinese, Indian, or Mexican spice blends I love. This was something new. I used franks, honey, and seasoned rice vinegar. Such a strange combination but it works. A new flavor I never thought of. Good stuff man.
I made this, and holy, it is DELICIOUS. One of my favourite recipes now.
I made this today! Sooooo good! Thank you!
I started cooking chilli and finally learnt how to cook "from scratch". Can't wait to try this since it'll be my first spice blend and not using the ready made sachets.
"I mean they're brussel sprouts. At their best they are 3/10 anyway."
Bro you have to try maple(i use lakanto) siracha sprouts... so good.
i toss them lightly with olive oil, hotsauce, pepper+salt, garlic/onion powder, spread them over parchment in a baking sheet, cook at 450F until just barely charred
You're knife chopping skills have me on edge.
Tried this recipe this week. Itâs great. Run, donât walk, to use this as your meal prep next week.
I love your meal prep⊠but dude why do you hold the fork like that. đ€Ł
This was surprisingly bland and not at all spicy like I expected. But man, it reheats very well, everything stays super moist and fresh tasting thanks to the sauce and excess ground beef fat, and its just an enjoyable meal regardless. I've used random Flat Iron Pepper flakes instead, and random hotsauces, and it takes it to another level. Changing the flakes and hot sauce weekly keeps the recipe from getting boring as well. Don't think I'll be retiring this one any year soon.
I am so obsessed with the Flat Iron Pepper! I've never had quality chili pepper flakes until I bought those, and now I have all of them.
Thanks. Iâll be trying this one next week!
Just made it, cant wait for tomorrows lunch!
Your shallow âskilletâ gives me anxiety đ
Lol I just got a new one with higher sides
@@TheMealPrepManual excellent recipes. Thanks
Going to try this this week for me and fam! Thanks for the easy recipes.
Laughing at letâs be real Brussels are a 3/10 anyways đ
đđ
With food this good, who needs a cheat meal!!!
Straight and to the point. Awesomely useful, thank you.
looks good. just blows my mind that there are actually people out there that weigh every bite of food they put in their mouth. thats wild.
it also blows my mind that people can just eat, eat and EAT and not think about how much they're eating! I always, always weigh each container when meal prepping. I don't indulge. Self control people
@@younguy1979 yeah the two extremes on either end are a trip.
just had this for lunch - SO SO SO GOOD!!!! exited to eat this for a whole week, meal prep is cool
It is now also one of my to go meals!
Just tried this recipe and it was FANTASTIC. Tried using ground turkey instead of beef and cut down on the apple vinegar and honey by a smidge. Had a great flavor and subtle heat to it. LOVED it.
Just made this. Awesome stuff, and it came together real easy and quick. Thankyou!
This was so good thanks for sharing the recipe !
Hi! Thanks!! I made this for dinner this evening, and it was AMAZING! Great tutorial!
1st recipe I tried and it was amazeballs!

This is so good! I made it and added some other leftover veggies - some sliced red peppers and a few zucchini and it was so good! Thanks
Ground beef, yoshitos and steamed brocolli with jasmine rice. Is my favorite meal prep.
this is awesome. i substituted the rice with califlower rice and have the perfect meal prep for my cut. thanks man
I'm over here in Mexico, and i want to try it!! that looks delicious !!! thanks for sharing!
I just made this today! It tastes amazing!!! Thanks for the recipe!!
Finally someone who writes Fahrenheit AND Celcius!
I tried this with some chopped pork shoulder. It was awesome. Thank you!
