If you have tried (and most certainly had) instant coffee or noodles, then you probably know how convenient it can be. Imagine if there is such an instant version of your favorite dish? That would be really great!

Make ahead meals are dishes that can be prepared in advance so you can conveniently just heat them up for a good while and voila! You’ve got yourself a delicious homemade meal! Asians have been practicing this method in preparing meals for ages.

Here are 11 healthy make-ahead meals and snacks for eating on the go.
