Healthy Weeknight Dinner Recipe Ideas

• Plan ahead – A little prep goes a long way. Chop veggies or marinate proteins in advance to cut down on cooking time.
• Keep it simple – One-pan meals and stir-fries are your best friend for quick, fuss-free cooking.
• Use the right sauces – A splash of Black Bean Garlic Sauce or Premium Oyster Sauce instantly enhances any dish.
• Cook extra – Leftovers make for an easy lunch the next day or can often be frozen for another evening  - saving time and effort.
• Balance your plate – Pair lean proteins with colourful vegetables and whole grains for a well-rounded meal.

These are our top picks for simple, nutritious dinners, which can all be prepared in 30 minutes or less!
