Any ideas for quick recipes I can make from the comfort of my dorm room? Here's what I've been making:
- chili
- mashed potatoes
- instant ramen hacks
Suggestions would be appreciated
Agreed with
willdbeast above me.
Omelettes are super easy, cheap, quick and tasty. Crack some eggs (I usually use 2 but use however many you want) into a glass, season with whatever you want. I usually go with some combination of black pepper, some herbs, all purpose seasoning, magi/soy sauce, garlic powder, etc. whisk it all together for about a minute. Heat up a pan with 1tbs oil/butter (I prefer olive oil) on medium heat and pour your eggs into it. It cooks really quickly. Then you can flip it over once most of it cooks and you're done. There are more variations of this but it's the most basic and does the trick. I eat it either with rice or toast.
Chicken wings are usually cheap, easy to make, and customisable. Marination is optional and will depend on the type of flavour you want to go for. Season however you want and slap in the oven for about 20 mins. Take them out, flip them and back in for another 5-10. You can make your own sauce, buy your own sauce, or just eat without sauce.
An example: marinate wings in jalepeno vinegar overnight with the jalepenos. Before I cook, season with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, cajun spices, black pepper, salt and maybe some chilli powder. While cooking, I make my own buffalo sauce with some hot sauce, butter, garlic and cayenne pepper. I don't really have these that often though coz they're quite heavy.
Dunno if it falls under the "stir fry" thing or not, but egg fried rice is good. Make rice. Fry onions, peppers, mushrooms together with some soy sauce and oil. Put the rice in when the onions and mushrooms have properly cooked. Crack an egg or two over the rice and mix it about as quick as possible.
Soft-boiled egg on toast. Heat up water to a boil. Put eggs in for 4 mins as you make some toast. Take eggs out and empty contents onto toast. Season with salt and black pepper.
Baked beans on toast lmao.
