Last week I followed this video by Doobydobap where she meal prepped a bunch of ingredients so that you could make a bunch of different meals with them.
I really like this style of meal prep cause even though it used to not be an issue I'm pretty much unable to get myself to eat the same food multiple days in a row now. Following this was great cause every meal was different enough that I was always excited to eat.
Is there a specific name for this style of prep where you use base ingredients to create a variety of meals? I've been trying to find other YouTubers or guides for it but am having trouble finding ones that allow for more than just a few different meals. Doobydobap has some more videos like this, which I plan to try, but I’m also interested in finding non-Asian food options.
Does anyone have any recommendation on what to search or who to follow for this type of prep?

“Ingredient prep” is probably the term you want
The other person is right. Also Rachel Ray used have a show called Week In A Day. If you have discovery plus or HBO max you can find it on them.
“Mise En Place” is very similar. It’s mainly for 1 dish but you can try “Mise En Place Meal Prep” or “Mise En Place same ingredients different Dishes”
I didn’t watch the video (no sound) but there are “dump and go” meals for crock pots/ slow cookers that I have seen around. Not sure if this is another “term” that’s used for prepping ahead of time.
Brian Lagerstrom has several on his YouTube channel. This one is my favorite that I’ve made multiple times.

Component cooking/prep. I did it for years, it’s very convenient!

Restaurant dropout does this and honestly I’ve been cooking so much more since I found her! Once you watch a few of her Instagram videos the algorithm will send you more lol
