Japanese Summer Meal Prep 🍉 | Freezer Somen Bento, Salad Jars & MUJI Haul

I wanted to make meal prep a little easier on hot days, so I prepared some make-ahead summer meals 🍉
Miso balls, a salad jar, a frozen somen bento, and microwave chicken chashu.
The next day, thanks to the somen bento I’d made ahead of time, I had a little extra time,
so I tried making the whole lemon cake I’d been wanting to try.
This is my summer meal prep strategy—not to push myself, but to avoid overdoing it. 🌿
