Asian Meal Prep Styled Healthy Macaroni Goreng

Healthy Macaroni Goreng

Admit it, who doesn’t LOVE macaroni goreng? It always takes me back to my childhood where mum will always make macaroni goreng and it’s so delicious. You know with the fishcake, fishball and stuff. Yumz.

Of course, I had to recreate this and make it Asian Meal Prep approved! This dish is healthier because it’s portioned – super important to measure up your ingredients ok? I’ve also only used whole food ingredients as much as I possibly can so no no, no fishcake.

And loads of nutrient boosting veggies!

The calories might be a little high but you need to keep in mind that this is a pasta dish so the carb content is a little on the higher side. But it’s a good alternative if you’re craving pasta, or carbs or that macaroni goreng but you also still want to eat as healthily as possible.

Give it a go and try it. I bet your entire family will love! Make sure you hashtag me if you’ve tried this, I’d love to see your creations!
