This is going to be super Asian… But I usually have rice on hand, and in the fridge an assortment of Chinese pickled/preserved veggies, fermented tofu, Vietnamese fermented prawns, salted and/or century eggs, kimchi, jars of seasoning like sate for example. Keeps forever (use clean utensils to avoid contaminating the jars) and good in a pinch.
Even better to add a side of greens if I have them. Boil or saute for a few minutes, then toss them in whatever seasoning (oyster sauce for example, keeps it simple and magically makes everything taste like stir fry).
I’m going to have to keep an eye out for fermented prawns. That sounds awesome
You can try to find it at a well-stocked Asian grocery store. It’s called “tom chua” or “mam tom chua” (sour shrimp) and sold in jars like this:
The flavor is actually more sweet and sour though. It’s very strong, so I’d recommend it more if you’re already familiar with fish sauce. You eat it whole, complete with the shell (it’s softened similar to sardines are).
Doritos in a bowl of water microwaved for 15 minutes throw spaghetti noodles in it and let soak til soft.
Tuna salad. Almost all of the ingredients are stable or long lasting and it’s very tasty and filling.
Ingredients are
A can of tuna ("in oil) is best, “in water” turns tuna to mush) Mayonnaise Finely diced onion Diced pickle Diced celery, lettuce or other leafy green Fresh or dry dill (optional ) Garlic powder (optional) Small drizzle of olive oil (optional, I use it when I use less mayo) American cheese (served on bread of choice, also optional)
It can be served on most breads as a sandwich or crackers. I recommend the bread be toasted as well
Directions: Dice components, drain tuna, stir, add mayo, stir, serve on carb of choice.
I think the prompt was ease of prep, not how stable the ingredients are.
You just dirtied a knife, a cutting board, a fork, a bowl, a plate, used a can opener, 11 ingredients, and prepped four of the main ingredients.
I do like tuna salad though and this sounds delicious. Except for the American cheese.
Take a tortilla wrap, put a slice of gouda young cheese in it, wrap like a wrap, 40 seconds in microwave et voila! Hot pocket and filling meal.
I do it quesadilla style. Two wraps, cheese and hot sauce in between. If I feel fancy i add tomato slices on top after microwaving
Bread or cereal
If I’m poor or badly prepared rice with chili crisp and and potentially egg. If it needs to be fast or very lazy 2 bananas and half a liter of milk through the stick blender. Otherwise cereal w/ milk or yoghurt, grocery store bedrolls croissant and such, prepared sweet yoghurt or instant ramen.
Egg noodles tossed in olive oil and topped with Parmesan and basil. Super lazy, super tasty, and cheap.
We have different definitions of super lazy.
Yeah, I came here looking for crushed uncooked Ramen noodle lazy, dammit!..
Chicken patties in the air fryer, on pane bread with mayo. Sometimes cheese. Might put frozen fries In the air fryer with them. That was my dinner tonight. Except I used frozen hash brown patties instead of fries. I meant to to have some mini cucumbers and cherry tomatoes for a side and totally forgot.
What’s pane bread? Pane is simply “bread” but in Italian
I see, it’s an USA style bread. Italian breads look more like this https://www.statoquotidiano.it/27/02/2015/pane-altamura-dop-giustificata-la-rabbia-dei-cerealicoltori/306435/
Giant fuckoff protein shake.
4 scoops of vanilla protein powder, 2 big spoons of peanut powder, cup of egg whites, decent whack of real maple syrup, and as much whole milk to get a thickshake consistency. Makes about a litre and its like half my daily protein target in one go.
That’s an unhealthy amount of sugar.
No its not. 125 grams of protein, 50 grams of total carbs 30 grams of fat.
My maintenance calories are 3000, that shake makes up 970. I deliberately use maple syrup and whole milk to drive UP the fats and carbs if Im using the shake as a meal replacement instead of a supplement because otherwise I dont hit my Macros.
Are you deliberately ignoring the sugar in the processed powders, the syrup and the milk?
Are you being deliberately abrasive?
No, I’m asking honestly, with a neutral tone. I’m not putting down your choice of nutrition, I’m concerned for your health and everyone else reading it. Sugar is a lot worse than most people realise.
If the 50g of carbohydrates are 50g of sugar, that would be a very unhealthy amount. You could just as well down 100g of Vodka as far as your liver is concerned.

No, I’m asking honestly, with a neutral tone.
It didn’t strike me as neutral, but it did make me want to ask whether you’re German (or otherwise from a different background.) I assumed it’s a cultural difference. I asked only because it came across to me as a bit rude.
I’m not putting down your choice of nutrition
Well sure, but I’m not the person to whom you originally replied.
I’m not German
