"We've all been there: You're feeling lazy or exhausted or simply don't have time to cook anything fancy. Luckily, with some inspiration, it's easy to whip up something that tastes seriously delicious in a hurry with simple ingredients. So redditor u/Bacon8er8 asked, "Tell me about your REAL low-effort meals. I'm talking microwave. I'm talking little to no dishes to clean afterward. I'm talking thrown together, pantry-to-plate." Here's what home cooks said from Reddit and the BuzzFeed Community."
"Eric Kim from New York Times Cooking has an unbelievably good version of tuna rice. I'm sure it's not groundbreaking, but it's how I discovered this kind of thing. Stir together a can of tuna, some mayo, some sesame oil, and some soy sauce. Dump on some rice. If you're feeling fancy, you can top it with Sriracha, furikake, sesame seeds, microwaved frozen edamame, scallions, rice vinegar, whatever."
Simple low-effort meals combine canned goods, frozen items, rotisserie proteins, and basic pantry staples to produce quick dinners with minimal cleanup. Quick soups pair frozen tortellini or greens with stock and canned tomatoes and finish with grated cheese. Casseroles come together from egg noodles, canned tuna, and cream soup for inexpensive batch cooking. Roasting frozen vegetables and serving with rotisserie chicken requires little effort. Tuna mixed with mayo, sesame oil, and soy sauce served over rice offers fast, adaptable comfort. Microwave, one-pan, and tossed-together approaches minimize dishes and save time.
