Meals you love/can eat often

I ate an omelette at Dishoom recently; it was delicious.

I've made it twice in a few days, and I don’t even particularly like omelettes that much.

I made it for dinner this evening and as I was eating it, I was thinking that I didn’t want it to end 😂 I love food generally, but I do have some
meals that I really love, and could eat a lot.

Does anyone else get like this?

I would eat chicken noodle stir fry every week if my family let me! I have loads of different marinades and sauces and love them all, but they say it’s “just” stir fry… Plebs!
In my own opinion, I do an amazing bolognese sauce which I could happily eat alone over the course of a few days, but it’s usually consumed by all in one sitting!

I have a stir fry most weeks, either chicken or prawn. It's so easy to make as I have loads of frozen veg (I chop carrots, broccolli, peppers, spring onions, mushrooms up really thin and freeze). I must branch out on the sauce though. I add Chinese Five Spice, garlic, small amount of ginger and Chui Chow Chili Oil and usually soy sauce at the end. A good way to get lots of veg in. I must try some other sauces though - teriyaki maybe or oyster sauce.

Ramen. It's so easy, pretty healthy and really fills me up. I could probably eat it most nights but don't want to sicken myself!

Ramen definitely isn't healthy. They have zero nutrients in them!

@Middleagedstriker you’re probably thinking of Instant Noodles.

But actual properly made ramen is healthy. Small amount of egg or rice noodles, veg or chicken stock, chicken/prawns etc. plus lots of veg. And sometimes a boiled egg.

AHH I was thinking of the sort of ramen they serve in the US that are basically noodles and salt and MSG!

So tofu, eggs, pak choy, carrots, peppers, spring onions and miso have no nutrients?

Peanut butter sandwiches.

(Sorry/not sorry to lower the tone.)

One pot orzo (tomato and spinach).

I have the same thing for lunch every day at work and never get sick of it. My husband says my colleagues will think I have disordered eating but honestly I love it 🤣

Greek yoghurt (full fat, plain)
Chopped fruit (usually raspberries, strawberries & blueberries but I sometimes mix it up with melon or nectarines 🤣)
Homemade ‘granola’ (mixed seeds, a few raisins, goji berries, chopped hazelnuts, milled flaxseed)

Reading that back I realise I sound insane but I honestly love it so much sometimes I eat it at weekends too

I have this but instead of yogurt have the now infamous Longley Farm cottage cheese. It’s so good-I had it every day last week 😂

I don't follow any recipes but it's really easy just to bung everything in. I do the same each time and it's this -
Tofu crisped in air fryer (I'm vegetarian so not sure how you'd prepare/cook meat)
While tofu is cooking I boil some eggs. I like them nice and jammy so bring water up to a boil, turn it right down low and add the eggs and cook for 6 mins then right into cold water to stop them cooking further.
Fry up some bok choy and at the very end add some soy sauce.
I use udon noodles from Tesco and cook them in the microwave with a tiny bit of water. Just cook them in the bowl your ramen is going to be in. Once hot I add a sachet of miso soup. The brand is itsu.
I then just assemble everything and while doing that, put some frozen gyozas in the microwave for a couple of minutes and add them right at the end.
I sprinkle some black sesame seeds chopped spring onions and some crispy chili oil over everything as well.

That sounds very pleasant, but in no way is that ramen.
