Seven-day plan
Sun batch prep: thaw 600 g chicken safely, cook 1.2 kg cooked rice from about 400 g dry rice, chop 600 g onions/carrots/potatoes, and portion produce. Keep raw chicken separate; use only verified peanut-safe packaged ingredients.
Mon dinner, 3 plus 2 lunch portions: chicken-mushroom rice bowls—600 g pantry chicken, 250 g pantry mushrooms, 300 g spinach, 250 g dry pantry rice. Use spinach before its stated date. Reserve two portions under the household cooling/reheating rule.
Tue: tomato-tofu noodles—400 g pantry tofu, 500 g tomatoes, 400 g pantry noodles, plus 400 g mixed vegetables; make five portions.
Wed: mild potato-carrot curry with rice—1.2 kg potatoes, 400 g carrots, 250 g onions, 300 g dry rice; five portions. Use pantry curry only if its label is confirmed peanut-safe; otherwise use soy-based seasoning.
Thu: egg and vegetable fried rice—10 eggs, 700 g mixed vegetables, 300 g dry rice; five portions.
Fri low-energy: tomato egg noodles—8 eggs, 700 g tomatoes, one 500 g noodle pack, 300 g mixed vegetables; five portions.
Sat: tofu-mushroom rice—800 g tofu, 500 g mushrooms, 600 g mixed vegetables, 300 g dry rice; dinner only.
Sun: chicken-potato stew—900 g chicken, 800 g potatoes, 300 g carrots, 250 g onions, 500 g tomatoes; dinner only. Fruit or yogurt are optional snacks, not substitutes for the listed meals.
Consolidated purchases after pantry deduction: chicken 0.9 kg CNY 21.60; tofu 0.8 kg 10; eggs 18, buy two packs 24; rice needs about 1.55 kg dry total less 1.2 kg pantry, buy 1 kg 8; noodles need 500 g beyond pantry, buy 500 g 8; mixed vegetables 2.0 kg 24; potatoes 2.0 kg 12; carrots 0.7 kg 4.90; onions 0.5 kg 3; tomatoes need 1.2 kg beyond pantry 9.60; mushrooms need 0.5 kg beyond pantry 14. Estimated core total CNY 139.10. Add fruit 2 kg 24 and yogurt 12 cups 30: subtotal 193.10; 10% contingency 19.31; planned total 212.41, leaving 147.59 within budget. Packaged peanut-safe sauce is excluded because no verified price or need is established.
Check: all dinners serve three; Monday–Friday produce two next-day lunches; each leftover is planned once within 24 hours. Pantry spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, tofu, chicken, noodles, rice, and eggs are deducted once. Prices are 25 August estimates and must be checked before purchase. If allergy-safe labels cannot be verified, do not buy or use the item; choose the listed basic soy-seasoning fallback only if its own label is safe.
