Frozen Meatballs

So many new blessings have come into our lives lately - Praise God! - and the most life-changing of all, is the fact that I now have an opportunity to go back to work full time.

With that, I've started prepping meals to be frozen so we could easily thaw & cook them later. I've gotten so many ideas from my n@wie friends and I can't wait to try them all :)

First batch - meatballs. I had thought to freeze food in Ziploc freezer bags at first but realized that they might spill and they might not be so easy to stack. Then, I found these takeout containers and tadaa! I knew I was saving them for a good reason.

I also learned a new term yesterday - "Freezer Cooking". There is such a thing pala where people cook large batches of food & freeze them for eating later.

Chicken Teriyaki

This is yet another version of Chicken Teriyaki we've attempted in our kitchen and this is the best by far - this is also the easiest to make!

A few days ago, we came across the food cart at the Japanese supermarket, they were cooking and letting people get free tastes of chicken cooked using one of Kikkoman's Takumi Collection Teriyaki Sauces.

I was able to try the Spicy Miso flavor at the supermarket and while it was good, hubby isn't really a fan of spicy food so I decided to just go with the original - can't go wrong with the plain-jane-variety.

This was super-easy to make.

- slice boneless chicken into smaller chunks or strips
- pour Kikkoman Takumi Collection Teriyaki Sauce (any variety) onto the chicken & coat
- pan fry :)

and you are done! Masarap, parang restaurant.
