I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you're tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

It sounds super fancy and foreign, but it's really just a simple omelette with some fish sauce thrown in. You can get fancy with cornstarch to make it a little crispy, but I ain't got time for that.

Instructions:

  1. Beat some eggs with some fish sauce (not a lot, just a splash or a spoonful)
  2. Fry eggs in oil, pulling from the side so the liquid on top cooks

It's done when there's no more liquid on top. Eat with rice (can microwave some precooked rice).

Total time: 5-10 min. Try it even if you don't like fish sauce.

Lemon pepper chicken, take chicken breast, slap it in a pan, fill the pan with lemon juice, So that the chicken is effectively soaking in it while it cooks, put copious amounts of lemon pepper seasoning on the top of the chicken breast, Wait until fully cooked. It's absolutely delicious!

Fried eggs with sliced tomato

[โ€“] SuzyQ 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not sure if this would count, but here it is:

  • Stovetop stuffing
  • Canned chicken

Boil water amount on the box in the electric kettle. Drain canned chicken. (Some brands need to be rinsed because of the amount of salt in the broth they're canned in.) Add stuffing, butter (amount according to the box) and chicken into a bowl. Stir to incorporate. Add boiling water, stir again, and cover for 5 minutes. Fluff and serve.

I suggest using the low sodium version as there will be a lot of salt between the box of stuffing and canned chicken. Can also use leftover cooked chicken.

Oh damn, Iโ€™ve been wondering why to do with my extra box of stuffing.

Iโ€™m gonna try this this week. Sounds tasty.

Mine is probably oatmeal.

Put half a cup of instant oatmeal, some nuts, peanut butter and a banana in the blender and pour some milk.

I usually put in the refrigerator and eat it in the morning.

For sweetening You can also use dates or maple syrup instead of sugar.

Carbonara.

Cook some chopped up bacon until crispy. Boil some pasta until cooked. Dump half cup of pasta water into bacon, mix. Mix 3 eggs with a half cup of parmesan, drip in a few tablespoons of pasta water while mixing. Turn off stove, dump pasta into bacon, mix for a few minutes, dump egg and parmesan in, mix vigorously. Eat with a big chunk of crusty bread. Should take 20 minutes from turning on the stove to eating.

Porkchop and potato cut into wedgies tossed in the toaster oven then some raw broccoli for pooping power later

What my dad calls "Lazy Fuck Chicken": mix instant French onion soup into a cup of cream, pour over chicken breasts in a gratin dish, shredded cheese on top, into the oven for half a hour, done. Serve with instant rice. Can't get more taste for less work.

Chicken Teriyaki. I often have left over grilled chicken breast or thighs so the hard part is already done. I just throw the chicken into a skillet along with some broccoli, pour in store bought teriyaki sauce and serve it on a bowl of rice.

Is the broccoli already cooked? Or are you just heating it up to absorb the sauce?

Hard boiled eggs

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Ravioli or tortellini.

Grab them in the premade packages dried or "fresh."

Boil them, drain them, dump the sauce in.

I'll never get tired of pasta.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Rice, salsa, cheese, sour cream, wing it from there with seasonings and proteins like beans or meat.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Sourdough pancakes. Just put some oil in the pan, pour your starter, and add some spices.

Instant oats + milk powder+ peanut butter+ hot water+ mix tf outta it + add some fruits as garnish if you have any to feel royal :P

Tuna salad sandwich

Tuna, celery, onion, mayo, dry dill, garlic powder, pickles if you want in a bowl and mix. Spread on toast and that's it. Has plenty of protein and will keep you full.

Next is ramen.

Boil water to cook ramen noodles

Stir fry some onion, scallion whites, other hard veggies and garlic, once tender add some soy sauce, broth and some bouillon powder, and soft or leafy veg and the scallion greens.

Let that cook and add noodles and a light drizzle of sesame oil
