Meal Prepping Honey Garlic Noodle Bowls in Only 45 Minutes

[@TheMealPrepManual]

The channel hit 500k subs a few weeks ago, which is just an absurd number to conceptualize. Thank you to all of you who have subscribed and watch my videos. Sometime this week I'm going to film a Q&A video to answer any questions you guys may have about meal prep, fitness, nutrition, my background, or really anything else you are curious about. If you have a question, feel free to leave it here and I'll add it to the list -Josh

How'd u get into fitness/nutrition

Why do you hold your utensils like you do? :P

[@raditz9676]

Keep up the good job & thanks for sharing all this, much appreciated! Question: what do you eat in the rest of the day? 1 meal prepped is OK, but what's your daily nutrition, how a day of yours looks like? Thanks!

[@DischordMabinogi]

This video has it all - the cutting bowl, the fork, the soy sauce cap - Josh is a menace and I'm all for it. Thanks for the recipe!

[@TheMealPrepManual]

😎😎😎

[@Na16Patman]

Looks great. Your humor is so well done and not annoying. Snack City is just a gateway drug to the real meal prepping I've been needing to get into

[@TheMealPrepManual]

thank you 😎

[@jo-jr2dv]

i disagree. that random clip after the soy sauce thing was so long and unfunny and awkward.

[@brassyjazzful]

Finally got a hold of some of the sweet potato vermicelli glass noodles and was able to make this recipe, another winner.

[@wuffymcwuff]

This is probably my favorite source of meal prep recipes. Perfect mix between nutrition and flavor. Too many meal prep recipes just focus on boring stuff like plain chicken breast and broccoli which I wouldn't want to eat daily. The snack recipes are great too

[@Pageoneevents]

You mention you weren’t sure how well the noodles hold up in the freezer, just came back to say I froze one serving just as an experiment and didn’t notice any difference in flavor or texture after reheating. It was only frozen a few days, just as a test, but time frozen shouldn’t matter

[@lewiswatson1690]

Well your efforts have helped me atleast🙏

[@christineyarkin9461]

Your videos have made my life so much easier! I am able to make lunch for my 3 boys for the entire week in about 1 hour! And not only are the meals delicious, but they are good for them too! So, thank you and keep the recipes coming!

[@TheMealPrepManual]

That is awesome to hear 😎

[@VanessaMaeFan18]

My brother directed me to your video. Thank you for your step by step on how to make this dish. It literally reminds me of japache and with japache, anything can go with that. Your ingredients are so flavorful and just fantastic. While putting everything together, I realized I made more than expected! Definitely more than 5 days worth lol. I usually eat baked chicken, brocolli and salmon and sometimes i will cook up some bulgogi. But, that can get boring when you had it numerous of times so I wanted to try something new. This is a great addition to my culinary profile 🙂!

[@stefenJ35]

I have a question for your Q&A video josh! In your videos you say things along the line of.. “this suits my fitness goals”. Can you tell me, what are your fitness goals? And how do you aim to achieve them? How much fat, protein and carbs each day etc? How often do you work out? Thanks for the video! I’ll be giving this one a go 🙌🏻

[@WhiskeySins]

This has become my favorite meal prep channel. I've never done meal prep until recently but, I love your humor ("if it takes you longer well, just be faster"), how matter of fact you are about stuff and everything comes across real and honest. It's nothing overly fancy, most of us don't want to spend hours doing meal prep, when I'm filling holes at work and doing 130h in a pay period, being able to slap together meals for a rotation in ~1h or less that are simple and delicious is great.

[@jpponce930]

As a man who works in a factory all day this recipe really was a comfort to have every day, the meat, carbs and veggies really do help get one through the day so thank you for this video 👍🏽

[@KT-lt4fy]

Of course you've reached over 500 k subs AND you'll totally get more! Your channel is a godsend and i've went from doordash addict to responsible adult within the span of the month thanks to you ~ Q.A. - what is the most/least enjoyable cooking activity (besides eating lol)? What is the most underrated kitchen tool that everyone should have? Overrated? Favourite protein? How'd you come up with the meal prep recipes?

[@adjordan9291]

Fresh Cortis Recipe just dropped! Looks like ANOTHER winner!

[@debraduffy7787]

Just made this tonight. It is amazing! This will be a definite favorite! Thanks, Josh!

[@HH-ow7tz]

Great job! Just a tip - use scissors to cut glass noodles - point scissors down in bowl and cut cut cut in whatever noodle lengths you want

[@JasonConBongos]

You nailed it Josh! Love your sensibility and thorough videos. So glad you got to this subscriber milestone! I can't wait till Google sends you the plaques.

[@theasianmamba1693]

Coming back to this now, been making your recipes for a while and made this with chopped up air fried chicken thigh and pad Thai noodles and it’s easily the best recipe so far. Thanks Josh!

[@MrBiswas123]

This so meticulous ,no BS .Feels like a marine instructional video. 😄❤

[@schmidtythekidd]

Use a metal egg slicer to cut your mushrooms. Consistent thickness and speed.

[@georgezachariadis2338]

Here's some: How did you learn to cook, how did you become a KZbin content creator, have you been offered kitchen jobs locally to you, do you have any other tips for diabetics besides my favorite sugar free syrup? You deserve many more subs and I personally appreciate the time you take to measure, prepare,cook,edit,and the occasional smarty pants sarcasm. Looking forward to your first ebook and autographed best seller book. Regards, George

[@mhatifnatt]

Congrats on your new kitchen! Q&A Do you think gas stove is superior to induction one? In all cases, in some cases?

[@roselynestelle6081]

Josh from TMPM and Josh from Mythical Kitchen are two of my favorite KZbin cooks and that collaboration would be a dream come true! Also working in Josh from Let's Game It Out somehow would be magical.. I'm sensing a pattern here

[@JC-Alan]

I really like Chef Jack Ovens as well. Those three are my favorites. Josh from TMPM is my favorite when I want to actually feel like I'm eating healthy ;)

[@at29035ft]

Don't sleep on Joshua Weissman either.

[@roselynestelle6081]

I totally forgot about Joshua Weissman! I was going more for the chaos comedy thing

[@MasterChief0522]

If you want to cut more calories, consider using shirataki noodles instead. The texture is a bit rubbery, which turns a lot of people off, but if you don't mind it, they're a really easy way to add a lot of volume with very few calories.

[@clique7386]

Seeing a TMPM vid in your sub box and knowing next weeks lunch is gonna be a banger

[@drybloxman]

Great video, happy to have another use for the noodles than the sweet chili, since I don't really have a great way to store the vinaigrette as my containers often end up tipping over in my bag.

[@BlueJay_55]

Does this recipe still work if our mixing bowl doesn't have Elsa on it?

[@glazed6178]

You have helped me so much in my weight lose journey and healthier lifestyle. Keep up the great work brother

[@D-man-online]

Hey Josh I see those glass food prep containers, did you finally find some that you like? If you did and they're Josh approved can we get a link for them? I'm a public accountant and everyone knows that working for a public firm during tax season is a great way to either eat out 7 days a week or starve to death from never having energy to cook. Your food prep recipes have been such a life saver to protect against that. Congrats on 500k and here's hoping for more!

[@Jacket84]

I asked him about the glass meal prep containers not long ago. He told me they are IKEA 365 containers.

[@rockybalboa5605]

This looks very yummy. Thank you for the videos.

[@Nesdude42]

I've gotta hand it to you Josh. This doesn't look that appetizing but it tastes like I'm eating Chinese takeout, and I love Chinese. I'm just using spaghetti and I left out the sriracha. Definitely making this again.

[@Drenwickification]

That bell pepper you have looks pretty big I’ve never seen one that long in the UK and maybe what you call medium is similar to what I would call a large bell pepper

[@skatingcanuck9837]

It wasn't a bell pepper. I'm pretty sure is was a sweet red shepherd pepper.

[@tylergodwin2016]

Thanks for the great prep ideas!

[@allisonchoffman]

What if I'm allergic to peppers? Do you think I could just sub the peppers for another veggie like corn or carrots?

[@jaclynturnipseed4723]

[@grunto]

The Honey Garlic Sauce is nice! Can it be made in a larger quantity to store for other things in the future, or is that not advised?

[@oldsql725]

Mh 5 days without freezing sounds like a long time for me if you are using ground chicken. But it looks very nice, I’ll try it

[@BlargeMan]

Bro, you NEED to start your own version of Blue Apron where you provide pre-portioned and packaged ingredients to create these recipes at home. You'd make a killing.

[@dwaynewilliams6663]

Hey I plan to start a fitness journey soon and I’m kinda of unsure where I should start outside of just going to the gym… thanks in advance.. love the vids never meal prep before but your meals make think I can try and stick to it

[@clique7386]

Count your calories and eat for your goals and the rest will fall into place :)

[@dwaynewilliams6663]

@@clique7386 thanks

[@AshCosgrove]

Well, dunno if he'll answer your question, but if it helps I go the gym for an hour in the morning and then run outside in the afternoon 5 times per week... so doing both is an excellent way to get in shape. Each day at the gym, work a specific muscle group: arms, shoulders, chest, legs, and back. As for running, be sure to get properly fitted running shoes that you change out after 300 miles or so and just start with something short like 2 miles and work your way up from there.

[@dwaynewilliams6663]

@@AshCosgrove thank you

[@TheOneTrueCaius]

Hey just curious why you don't use your Zwilling containers for the meal prep? I use two of the big ones when I make the Hambulker helper meal and vacuum seal them. Wouldn't that make them last longer or does cooked food always go bad after 5 days?

[@Jacket84]

he tends to make a lot of meals that cover about 5 servings, so there's no need to make them last longer than 5 days in the fridge.

[@TheMealPrepManual]

I only have two of them and I like to put the meals into individual dishes

[@Crokto]

have you tried shirataki noodles for meal prep? just found out about them and they seem great from a macro perspective, but i worry they might not hold up well over the course of a week

[@TheMealPrepManual]

I've never even tried a shirataki noodle period let alone for meal prep so i can't say

[@drea7363]

@@TheMealPrepManual they're veggies....stay away from them 😂

[@landanreimer9951]

I use them for meal prep and they work well! By day 5 the texture is still solid. The main issue is the texture is different from normal noodles, so be aware of that going in!

[@Crokto]

@@landanreimer9951 thanks! ill try it out then. yeah im skeptical but hopefully i can stand them cuz it would save me a lot of calories on stuff like rice

[@skatingcanuck9837]

They are not sturdy, are rubbery, squeeky, and just gross.

[@rahcaz3689]

Hey Josh, love the video. I’m looking for this but maybe with less fat, what would you recommend? Ground Turkey instead? Thanks for the video!

[@Jacket84]

1:08 he literally says you can use ground turkey.

[@skatingcanuck9837]

It's chicken - already low fat. He ground his own meat, so it's even lower fat. You can buy extra lean ground chicken - can't go much lower fat than that.

What brand/kind of pots/pans do you recommend for people who are either doubling up your recipes for bulking or One Meal a Day diets?

[@No-way-way]

Damn, that looks good! Gonna make this next week

[@gpkool1]

But like what can I replace the mushrooms in the stir fry because I don't like them

[@hayden6704]

I am very recently getting into meal prepping, partly to lose weight and mostly just to make sure I am eating enough and getting what I am supposed to be, and I am not sure how many calories I am supposed to be taking. I have gone on a few websites and apps to track and see and most of them say 3k-4k+. The problem is that most of your recipes won't let me reach that goal easily. Now the obvious solution would be to just increase the amount of food each meal has but the problem is that I find myself so full from just the base meals that your website provides that I worry if I add to them I will make myself sick. What do you think I should do? I don't know if you wanna put this in the Q&A cuz of how specific it is but if you want to use it there you can.

[@DanPeters182]

what are the dimensions of the pans you use. I can't work out if you're a giant because your pans don't look massive but when I attempt to do these I can barely even fit stuff in.

[@ericriner9425]

Hey, I don't like mushrooms, what should I replace them with?

[@russelljohnson6799]

Hi Josh, Where are your shirts from? Specifically this navy one in the video? As a taller somewhat lanky man I have a hard time finding shirts that don’t tighten in the wash and subsequently expose my armpit hair because the sleeves end up shrinking like I do after a run in cold weather. This shirt looks like my dream shirt and I want it. Thanks in advance.

Josh, You often talk about your fitness goals. I'm trying to figure out what you do for fitness? I think you're the KZbin I'd care to see the "Day in the life of" video from. Other question, do you have plans of purchasing something like a Sous Vide? You and ZWilling got a nice thing going, I think a sous vide could make some interesting choices? Then again, you're a good chef as is and don't need the lazy persons cooking option.
