作り置き
Significado: Meal prep or batch cooking done in advance — typically preparing multiple side dishes on the weekend to eat throughout the workweek.
A cornerstone of efficient Japanese home cooking, 作り置き involves spending a few hours (usually on weekends) preparing multiple dishes that keep well in the fridge or freezer. This practice supports the traditional Japanese meal structure of rice plus multiple small side dishes (おかず). It has become hugely popular on social media, with dedicated accounts showing beautiful arrays of prepared containers.
