Packed Lunch Ulam Meal Prep for my son

Kailangan natin ng apat na ulam times four kasi ganun kadami yung kailangan baunin ng anak ko for the span of one month. So we need to meal prep everything today. My son needs to bring a packed lunch from Monday to Thursday and this is his Monday ulam, marinated chicken thigh fillet. This is half kilo chicken thigh fillet, a drizzle of Worcestershire sauce, pepper to taste, salt to taste and calamansi juice. Marinate this for one hour and then repack into four servings, enough for four Tuesdays. By the way, everything that I am making for my son's packed lunch is air fryer friendly. Yung mga tinola, sinigang, kinakain na lang niya during dinner, nagluluto ako. Or during weekends. For Wednesdays, we're making chicken meatballs. To half kilo of (ground) chicken breast, I'll be adding powdered broccoli, salt to taste, pepper to taste, one egg and around two tablespoon of cornstarch. Let's just mix everything together. Coat your hands in oil and start rolling into balls. Then for easier storage, I will steam this before freezing it. Para hindi sila magdikit dikit. But you can also freeze this after rolling it into balls directly. But you have to put a barrier between each other. Para hindi sila magdikit dikit. And finally for Javi's Thursday ulam, we are making skinless homemade longganisa. This is half kilo, 70/30 ground pork. And we'll add minced garlic, add as much as you can, the more garlic, mdmsarap. Salt to taste, pepper to taste. Ito yung damihan natin konti. Dark soy sauce, konti lang. Light soy sauce, medyo damihan natin to. And tanta tanta na lang yung ilalagay nating all purpose flour, just a little bit, enough to bind it. I'll be using some gloves kasi malakas yung amoy ng garlic guys. But let's mix it all together to roll as skinless longganisa. You need any flat object like this, a really large resealable pack like this. Use the part na walang print that much. Maybe dagdagan natin onti. No, this is too big. Ganyan lang. Let's fold it. And then let's use this to push the meat into proper form. So like this, as you can see di ba? And this one, okay na to. Ilalagay ko lang siya dito kasi I will also steam this like the meatballs. Now we will be steaming the chicken balls and the skinless longganisa for around 20 minutes only. For vegetables naman, we only have two in rotation kasi ito yung mga vegetables na gusto ni Javi. Papakuluan natin yung patatas hanggang sa lumambot, pero itong french beans, isi-blanch lang natin siya. To this boiling water, I'll just add some salt. Also add a little bit of vinegar lang para sa storage purposes, hindi siya masisira agad. Potatoes will stay here until fully cooked. Tamang blanch lang yung sa ating french beans. I think this is the best method to preserve vegetables in the fridge. Kasi kung ifreezer ko siya kapag magdedefrost na is nagiging mushy siya. Pero kapag fresh naman siyang i-store, nabubulok siya, nagkakamoist, nangungitim. Pero with this method na bina-blanch ko siya with a little bit of salt and vinegar and then storing it in the chiller, grabbing just the right amount that I need for that day... it really lasts me for a month guys. Syempre hindi ko lang to binibigay na ganito sa anak ko. Whenever I prepare yung ulam ng anak ko in the air fryer, sinasabay ko na rin to. I usually just drizzle some salt and also add a little bit of butter. Steam meatballs, done. Steam skinless longganisa, done. Let's pick something that's tiny so you can have a taste test. It held the form guys. Taste a bit. A bit! Ang laki naman! Yummy. So oh my god, ang sakit ng likod ko.
