Ramen, the square not the cup, you can do so much with it

i need to upgrade my cheap meal to this level of nutrition.

One of my hyperfixations is cheap nutrition and delicious food! My boyfriend loves it haha.

Pinto beans cooked with cilantro, chopped onions, fresh crushed garlic, and seasoning. Let it boil on the stove for a few hours, replenish water as needed, then yummy supper with rice and tortillas. Makes the house smell good too. =)

I love beans. I make beans at least 2x a week!

I'd make bean dishes way more often but my son hates beans. =(

lentils and rice, with garlic, fish sauce and chili flakes.

What’d you call me

lokathor.bsky.social•61 days ago

can you put like raw beans in a rice cooker and it works?

anyacombsherhair.bsky.social•61 days ago

I don’t know tbh?? I usually cook mine separate but I’ll add tofu to rice and veg in the rice cooker and that’s great!

Cheap noodles, butter (or whatever oil you’ve got), a bit of lemon (bottled is fine), and some s&p. If you’ve got a little extra to spend, you can throw in some shaved parm, asparagus or broccoli, and chicken

I just got a rice cooker so I’m for sure trying yours—do you use any go-to seasonings?

Spices to have on hand to jazz up rice cooker meals:

- mushroom umami salt
- furikake seasoning
- chicken bouillon (I like it in powder form for this kind of thing)
- dried (or fresh) full sprigs of rosemary (great paired w lemon juice & butter, too)
- coriander
- tetra bricks of stock

Depends on the meal but favs include red chili flakes, cumin, turmeric, furikake, sesame seeds, sesame oil, rosemary, chili lime salt, garlic powder…

I also love hot sauce and making my own sauces!

Rice in the rice cooker, then a minute before it's done mix in an egg, soy sauce, and seasonings and put the lid back on for the last minute.

Alternately, a scoop of crunchy peanut butter in chicken flavor cup noodles is my go-to.

Eggs are hard to come by these days in the US but if that ever changes I’ll def be trying this

Rice. Cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken if you don’t like mushrooms). Add frozen veg.

I’ll add a small amount of ground turkey for protein, but I made this with crispy tofu for a vegetarian family member last year and it ruled.
