Instant ramen pack with a couple fried eggs.
Do you fry the eggs separately and then put it in the boiled ramen?
Yes. When I want the lowest effort version, I do just crack an egg straight in to soft poach along with the cooking noodles, but I prefer the texture of fried.
Yeah I usually do the low effort version, too. But sometimes (rarely) if I have the energy I also fry the noodles after a quick boil and it’s nice and crunchy
A pork soup that is basically meat chunks pressure cooked to make them very soft, then seasoned with garlic, black pepper, and onions. Then fish sauce for flavor. Lastly, add cabbage. It’s great for cold weather.
Better yet try adding pork bones.
Courgette, tofu and onions. I don’t remember the sauce but probably oyster sauce.
Looks yummy!
Stuffed grapevine leaves.
My mom used to make them. My wife and I tried three times and never managed to get them right. A month or so ago I tried again. I ran out of lemon and had to go to the store after I put them in the oven. When I got home I realized I set the temperature too high. I pulled them out, added more water and the additional lemon and put them back in the oven at the right temperature for a while longer.
They came out perfect.
Dolmadakia
Looks great!
Katsu Curry 😺
slow cooked rolled oats with maple syrup, walnuts, cinnamon
Kimchi Jjigae! Perfect for when it’s cold out.
My favorite stew called African ground nut stew. I make it a few times a month. It takes about 30 mins in the pressure cooker.
It is a chicken stew with peanut butter and hot sauce.
If anyone wants the recipe I will add it.
That sounds really interesting, yesplz
African Ground Nut Stew
8-10 chicken thigh
Large can of diced tomato
Small can of tomato paste
1 large onion
2 medium carrot
2 stalks celery
8-12 mushrooms or 2 cans of sliced mushroom
1 or 1.5 cup chicken stock (I add garlic stock in as well)
2.5 tbsp peanut butter(I like more PB so I double this)
Hot sauce optional
3 clove garlic
instructions:
prep:
dice the onion
peel and chop the carrot/celery
Clean and slice mushrooms
mince garlic or one small spoon worth of pre minced
cut chicken into small pieces to quickly cook or cut thigh in two or breast into three if you want bigger chunks
cooking:
put olive oil in large fry pan on high
add onion,carrot, and mushroom cook until onion is getting soft
then add chicken and garlic keep everything moving around so the onion and mushrooms don’t burn
when the chicken is half cooked (white on the outside 50% or so) then add both cans of tomatoes (paste and diced) and stock
let simmer for 20-25 mins so the tomatoes break down and chicken finishes cooking, stirring every few minutes
add peanut butter in 1/2 tbsp at a time to the pan and mix in with the liquids
add salt and pepper approx for 2 more minutes making sure not to let the sauce burn on the bottom
Add hot sauce to taste. (My favorite for this recipe is Nando’s garlic hot sauce.)
serve over rice
If you are doing this recipe in a pressure cooker then just throw everything except the peanut butter and hot sauce in on high pressure for 20-25 mins, once pressure is released then add the peanut butter and hot sauce.
I prep everything frozen so I cook it for 28 mins on high since the stuff has to defrost first.
Oh shit I think I have all this on hand. Might do this for dinner in like a half hour!
Green bean casserole
Irish Stew.
Tasty and hearty. Cooked it again the following week, it was that enjoyable.
So easy too. Potatoes, meat, onion, carrot, stock in a pot.
Jambalaya.
So to my self-taught-chef mind, “comfort food” basically means carbs. Rice, pasta, bread, etc. Comfort food is something that tastes good and weighs you down so you can get comfortable in front of the TV.
I generally avoid carbs, so something with carbs has to be really good. And for me, Jambalaya is it. I use chicken and sausage, since I’m allergic to shrimp. I don’t use okra since I don’t care for it. So maybe someone raised on it would not like mine, but I like mine, and my wife likes mine, so that’s all that matters. Also used to bring it into work (make like 4x the recipe) and everyone there loved it, too.
Cooked some Masoor dal recently (first time making it) and my coworker from India (a really good cook herself) said it was really good! She shared some of her mushrooms and home made roti with me (which were also amazing).
I made goulash in the crock pot yesterday :)
A Frito pie with hot dog chunks. Cheap, hot, and easy. Just how I like em.
Apple crumble with ice cream!
