I love that when you say something is super easy, takes 5 mins or requires little to no cooking you actually mean it! So many youtubers claim they're about to show you a perfect meal for busy days then proceed to spend 30 minutes minimum in preparations while using +3 recipients...
I have a chronic illness and my instant pot has SAVED me on days when I can’t cook. I make things like this a lot and it’s so easy and helpful. Even my kids like it
I eat this at least once a week and it's so good! I replace the shaoxing wine and sugar with mirin and add spam for extra protein. I also love eating it with kimchi
Thank you so much for these tips! I sustained a brain injury when I was 24 two years ago and I've had to completely relearn how to cook ever since. I've made good strides in my recovery but I still have trouble concentrating and standing long enough to be able to follow even most "easy" recipes". Tips like this are life savers - truly, thank you!
My favorite is putting gochuchang in with the rice, along with a little but of butter. I've added frozen edamame and frozen broccoli, and then let it cook! Throw in my meat of choice when it's done and top with some kewpie mayo! This has really saved my butt when it comes to dinners after a long day at work.
WAIT!!!! THIS IS A GAME CHANGER! I HAVE TO TRY THIS!!! I have a rice cooker, but I only use it for rice, and I make this EXACT type of meal, but just cook the tofu and veggies on the stove separately! Wow, this is going to save me so much more time when I cook especially on evenings I get home from work!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!!!
I have been telling people new to cooking about this for ever! These were my go-to meals in high school and college, and I made it simple with slivered ginger, thinly sliced garlic, cubed chicken and some soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of chicken bouillon or Dasida in the cooking water. Set it and forget it, and a full meal is ready in a half hour. Lots of scallions on top and another drizzle of sesame oil, a sprinkling of salt and sesame seed and it’s the best comfort meal ever.
