I'm talking about meals that generate minimal washing, take hardly and time to prepare and are at least semi-nutritious :p Something better than a pot noodle, but not something I would consider a proper “meal”.

I have two:

1) Instant cous cous in a bowl with tinned mackerel or sardines in tomato sauce, chopped cherry tomatoes , and chopped spring onions (or any other veg you can get away with not cooking that much). Poor water on and smash in the microwave for a couple of minutes. Done. Maybe a bit of olive oil or coriander on top too.

2) Instant udon noodles in bowl with finely grated ginger, chopped chilli, chopped spring onions, soy sauce and that stock powder stuff you get in the little packets. Bit of cabbage leaf works well too. Bosh in microwave with water and there you go, instant noodle soup. Oh, and a bit of miso paste if you have it.

What are yours? I’m guessing everyone has at least one ‘CBA’ meal..?

Edit: FFS wrong subforum :p

If you spending your time chopping and adding other ingredients, why do you bother with the instant stuff? Just as quick to make it from scratch and far better.

How do you mean? The instant udon noodles are those pre-cooked, vac-packed kind. So it kind of is from scratch. The only 'instant' bit as far as I can see is the powder stuff..? I just use a bit of that for seasoning. As for 'chopping', I just do that with scissors Nigella style :p
