Three dishes one soup is an approach to daily dinner planning I first encountered on Thoughtworthy, a Singapore based philosophical minimalism channel on youtube. And I picked up a Singapore cookbook called Three Dishes, One Soup. You get a bowl of rice as well of course.
Yeah, I don't understand where that link title came from. it links to the cookbook.
Both of these sources credit the Chinese for the idea. But from the Chinese I've always read to use a dish for every guest + 1. The Japanese are said to have an idiom for the same idea of three dishes one soup for meal planning.
The principle is about a variety of foods from a variety of cooking methods that you can cook more or less simultaneously to get a healthy dinner together quickly. Also very much like Pepin's Fast Food My Way.
So your task is to prepare meals of three dishes and one soup. I'm fine if you count rice as one of the three rather than separate. But the soup is mandatory. From any cuisine or mix and match.
If you want ideas, there are a number of Asian youtube channels with this in their title for particular videos. And Pepin wrote two cookbooks in the Fast Food My Way concept.
