easy WFH lunch ideas from my kitchen to urs!! 😋🍳

on wfh days, i just don’t feel like leaving the house for lunch. so for ✨inspiration✨ and if you feel the same, here are some meals i cooked up in my kitchen in <30 min!

disclaimer: not a chef - i just like messing around in the kitchen and making functional quick meals (read: not aesthetic 😭). i usually follow 30 min recipes which end up taking 1.5h SO these are actual 30 min meals! all seasoning is agar-agar 🤪

1️⃣ 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶 𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗶 & 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀 🌶️

inspired by taiwanese chilli wanton noodles but without wantons in my fridge 💔 cook lamian as you normally would, then set aside. stir fry broccoli, mushrooms and whichever other ingredients you’d like. then add back the noodles with chilli (laoganma chilli is my fav) and vinegar. if you have wantons, go ham! 🥹

2️⃣ 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗸𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝗴𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 🍳

same vibe as thai basil beef rice! season minced beef with salt/ soya sauce and a generous serving of pepper. fry the okra first, then add in the beef and stir fry together. serve on rice, top off with a sunny side up, and voila!

3️⃣ 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗲́𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺, 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗲𝘀 & 𝗮𝘃𝗼 🥑

this is like a brunch plate you’d find at a cafe, but homemade for 1/4 the price or smth 🤭 chop up some garlic and fry mushrooms and cherry tomatoes with salt, pepper and any spices/ herbs you’d like. scoop out ur avocado (mine always looks bad lol can’t achieve the cafe effect) and serve with toast! 🍞

4️⃣ 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 & 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗽 🍜

season minced beef with sesame oil, soya sauce and pepper, then shape it into meatballs! i mainly used miso paste to boil the soup stock, added in chinese spinach, jade noodles and meatballs. soupy noodles always hit the spot for me 😌

5️⃣ 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗼 𝘂𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗼𝗸𝗿𝗮 & 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗸𝗶 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀 🍄

chop up okra, enoki mushrooms (rly the best 🤤) and protein of your choice if you’d like. cook udon till it’s almost done (but a little undercooked as you’ll still fry it later), and set aside. fry the ingredients, add in miso paste and the udon noodles! mix together well and serve.
