I like to take those boxes of breakfast cereal they sell and I like to whip them up in a big bowl with some milk. I call it cereal with milk.

A real cheat code here is when you truly can't find it in you to cook, have some easy heat and eat meal or something and then plan + prepare tomorrow's dinner.

Microwave burrito + take chicken out of the freezer for tomorrow

Throw rice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, onion, potato, chorizo, frozen peas, some spices and water into a rice cooker. Hit go, take 40 min nap, eat.

or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

You can't just disrespect Germany like that...

Cooking?!

When I'm specifically being too lazy to?

I don't even cook for myself on the good days.

Fake pizza: Make toast. Drizzle toast with a little bit of olive oil. Smear tomato paste on toast. Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano. Top with a slice of provolone.

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!

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.

Indomie! It's not instant ramen soup, exactly.

You cook the noodles, drain them, then mix the flavor packets in. I prefer using half the salt powder package.

They are the pretty much the best instant noodle, and available in the West too. Seriously, go try them sometime!

If I'm too lazy to cook, I open a can of fish and wash a pile of cucumbers to eat as side dishes with the Indomie.

Boil some frozen veg - add an egg if you’re feeling fancy. Throw some instant noodles in when the veg and egg is cooked. Strain. Season to your liking.

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.

Rice, sardines, kimchi, avocado, soy sauce, sesame oil.

Rice cooker, after it's halfway, throw in an egg or two, leftover meat, can of beans, soup, or chili, whatever's available. It's nourishing and always tastes good.

Cook some rice in a rice cooker, top it with a runny sunny-side up egg, add some high quality soy sauce and a bit of butter. Sliced green onions if I'm feeling less lazy.

Fried eggs with sliced tomato

Slow cooker stuff if I'm lazy but thinking ahead a bit. Just throw shit in a pot and turn it on. I tend to get big lumps of meat rather than steaks or whatever, so the slow cooker has the added benefit of me not needing to do much cutting. I just do a few big chunks and it'll be so tender by the time it's ready it'll fall apart. Takes longer to put it away in containers than to prep it, then I'm done cooking for a week lol

Spaghetti bolognese is a regular if I need something soon. Little more work, but it's extremely quick and doesn't require being in the kitchen for the whole thing. Still makes a ton of meals that keep and reheat nicely.

Roasts are nice if I'm sort of having to impress someone but I'm lazy. You just throw shit in the oven and wait. Occasionally come back to throw in something that has a shorter cook time than the meat. Might be heresy but I've never really been keen on the leftovers of a roast though, so one cook is usually only one meal and maybe a sandwich the next day instead of several.

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

Leftovers. Honestly, I cook like two times a week. Throw most of it in the fridge, some of it in the freezer, and grab a collection of whatever and microwave, air fry, or convention oven it. Even better is if the "cooking" is smoking or crock pot. You know, throw it in, check every few hours, kind of deals.

Otherwise, I'll just eat ingredients and pretend it's a charcuterie.

The other is sandwiches and eggs. Make bacon, use bread or eggs to clean up grease, throw some meat or cheese on it, season with bull shit (whatever premixed seasoning sounds good). I like mayo and balsamic on my sandwiches too. That's my easier than eating out and actually worth eating stuff.

Bake some frozen chicken nuggets, toss in buffalo sauce, cut up some iceberg lettuce and throw it all in a soft tortilla with ranch.

Does "whatever is on the Hamburger Helper box" count?

Cassava flakes mixed with milk and sweetener

Kraft Mac and cheese with sausage cut up in it.

My too-lazy-to-cook recipes still involve some cooking. One has me cut up some chicken thighs, add a load of spices, and throw em in a frying pan. Stir occasionally. Then stick em on some tortillas with shredded lettuce, garlic sauce, salsa, sriracha and grated cheese.

Alternatively, fry some diced bacon while heating up a pot of water for spaghetti. When the bacon's good, remove & discard about half the rendered fat. Next, beat an egg and grate in some Parmigiano Reggiano* cheese. When the pasta water is good, cook some spaghetti. When the spaghetti is done, take it out of the pasta water with some tongs and throw it straight into the pan with bacon. Then add the egg mixture and start stirring immediately, the egg mixture cooks from the heat still in the spaghetti. Add cheese and a little bit of pasta water to taste.

* more generic parmesan will do, though the best texture is reached with freshly grated cheese. I have access to Parmigiano Reggiano at a price that won't break the bank for me though, so the real Italian deal it is for me.

Pre-portioned chicken pieces in one drawer of the air fryer, tater tots in the other. Slice up tomato and carrots to go with them. Nothing left to do except wrap the bones after so the cats can't get them, but that's a future-me problem.

Make rice, throw minced meat in, done. It looks like dog food but it's pretty good.

I just go to bed when I am too lazy to cook!

I am severely malnutrition 😎😎😎

Cook white rice in a rice cooker but instead of water, use a canned soup. Flavor of the soup gets into the rice. A few minutes of prep and walk away.
