Asian-Inspired Meal Prep Ideas

1. Sesame Ginger Steak Skewers

• Perfect for grilling enthusiasts, these skewers are marinated in a flavorful blend of sweet Thai chili sauce, tamari, garlic, and fresh ginger. Serve over rice with avocado, sesame seeds, and our creamy peanut sauce on the side

2. Thai Pineapple Fried Rice

• A tropical twist on a classic dish, featuring caramelized pineapple, bell pepper, and cashews stir-fried with brown jasmine rice. Seasoned with tamari, chili garlic sauce, and lime juice for a zesty kick.

3. Summer Asian Chop Salad

• Crisp and refreshing, this salad combines white and red cabbage, red bell pepper, carrots, sugar snap peas, and green onions. Topped with toasted cashews, crispy noodles, and a tangy sesame ginger dressing.

Meal Prep Tips for a Stress-Free Celebration

Plan Ahead: Pre-cut vegetables and marinate meats the night before to save time on the day.

Keep it Fresh: Don’t let wilted lettuce get you down! Prepare a Summer Asian Chop Salad featuring cabbage, which naturally lasts longer than delicate greens. Save the dressing and toppings until you’re ready to serve for the freshest salad experience.

There you have it! These Asian-inspired dishes and meal prep tips will make your 4th of July celebration unforgettable. They're not just delicious but also easy to prepare, allowing you to spend more time celebrating with loved ones.

Happy 4th of July from us at Salted and Pepper!
