You're a step ahead, make the most of it: an idea for tomorrow, quantities for your household, and a grocery list to copy to your phone. If you swing by the store tonight, you're all set.
Equipment: Saucepan, Colander, Nonstick skillet, Cutting board, Knife, Vegetable peeler
Cut the 200 g of tofu into 2 cm cubes. Pat them really well with paper towels so they're dry.
Peel the carrot and cut it into thin sticks. Cut the 1/2 cucumber into half-moons, chop the cilantro and roughly crush the peanuts.
Pour about 1.5 l to 2 l of water into the saucepan, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the cubes for 8 minutes, flipping them, with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Drop the 150 g of noodles into the boiling water, off the heat or at a gentle simmer depending on the package, for about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again.
In the small bowl, crush the garlic and mix it with 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of sriracha, 1 tsp of sesame oil and the juice of the 1/2 lime.
Turn the heat down, pour half the sauce over the golden tofu and stir for 1 minute so it soaks it up. Turn off the heat.
In the mixing bowl, toss the noodles, carrot, cucumber and the rest of the sauce. Split between the 2 bowls and top with the tofu, peanuts and cilantro.
And for the rest of the week? Popotam plans your seven days in one go, with the grocery list sorted by aisle. Free, no account.
Do my whole weekQuick dishes as well as slow-cooked ones: tomorrow you might have more time than on a weeknight. Filter if you want to keep it short.
One click on “Copy my grocery list” and the ingredients go to your clipboard, with the quantities for the number of people you picked.
While you're planning one meal ahead, Popotam can plan fourteen: your whole week, and a single grocery list sorted by aisle.
These aren't recipes written for the page: they're the dishes people actually plan with Popotam. Only the ones that come up in at least ten different meal plans show up here, and in-season ones come first. Nothing says who ate them. Their recipes were written once and for all by Popotam's AI, then stored: when you open this page, no AI is called.
Pick an idea on this page, set the number of people, then copy the grocery list: the quantities are already worked out. If you don't like it, “Another idea” suggests a new one, vegetarian or budget-friendly if you ask.
From dishes people actually plan with Popotam. We only keep the ones that appear in at least ten different meal plans: common dishes people like, and never a dish that would concern just one person. Nothing says who ate them.
It's an estimate, to give you a rough idea: the sum of the prices of the ingredients to buy, divided by the number of servings (pantry salt, pepper, oil and spices don't count). It varies with your store and brands, and it only shows if almost every ingredient has a known price.
Popotam's AI, just once per dish, from the dish's name, its time and its ingredients for two. They're then stored and shown as is: the page doesn't call any AI when you open it. In the app, every dish in your week also has its recipe, written for your household and your preferences.
