Monday: Air Fryer Tofu Satay

If you’re looking for an air fryer tofu recipe to add to your repertoire, try this chicken satay-inspired dish. The sauce is quick to make; all you need to do is combine the ingredients and then warm the mixture in the microwave while the tofu cooks in the air fryer. The result is crispy tofu combined with a creamy, mouth-watering sauce. Serve with rice and a green vegetable.

Tuesday: Maple-Soy Chicken with Roasted Broccoli and Jasmine Rice

Sweet and savoury flavours are what make this chicken recipe irresistible. After all, it doesn’t skimp on taste thanks to a sublime and umami-rich marinade consisting of maple syrup, soy sauce and fish sauce. Simply serve it over rice with a side of roasted broccoli.

Wednesday: Baked Pasta with Ricotta and Spinach

When struggling with a meal idea after a long day, know that pasta will always be a hit with the family. For a burst of flavour, cook the pasta in strained tomato coulis and chicken broth before adding it to a baking dish. Combine with wilted spinach and creamy ricotta, top with mozzarella, and then broil until browned and bubbling. It’s a comforting dish that will definitely hit the spot.

Thursday: Spicy Salmon Rice Bowls

Want a quick and easy dinner for tonight that’s also on budget? This salmon bowl recipe can stretch a single salmon fillet into four servings to feed the family tonight. Serve with nori sheets and creamy avocado, and don’t forget the spicy kick from the Sriracha!

Friday: Bacon-Wrapped and Cheese-Stuffed Pork Tenderloins

Friday night calls for cheese and bacon! In this recipe, pork tenderloin is stuffed with rich raclette cheese and a herbaceous sage seasoning, and then wrapped in bacon. (Drooling yet?) Drizzle on some shallot and vermouth sauce in order to impress the family with a meal that looks and tastes a bit on the fancier side.
