Share the thing you make when you’re hungry, but dont have the energy to make something complicated

I think it’d be nice to have a thread for people to share food ideas, also i’d like some ideas myself

    Grain (rice, pasta, steel cut oats, etc) + lentils + olive oil thrown in a covered pot with just enough water or veggie stock to cook the grains and beans without making it a soup. Spices, veg, and sauces are optional.

    Cheap, healthy, ingredients don’t spoil, and ready in <20min with about a minute of active cooking time.

    Friend rice with vegetables and either tofu or eggs. If I want sauce I use low sodium soy sauce, sometimes ketchup. But mostly just some salt and pepper is enough for me.

      Try Tamari sauce! It’s made 100% with fermented soy (Soy Sauce, or Soyuu, is actually made with some wheat), and it has some alcoholic taste that gives some complexity to the taste that at least I love it!

    A can or pot of mashed tomatoes mixed in a pan or something with pre baked legumes. Put some spices at own taste, wait until the tomato is cooked, and voilà. 15 minutes or so.
