I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you’re tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

Fake pizza: Make toast. Drizzle toast with a little bit of olive oil. Smear tomato paste on toast. Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano. Top with a slice of provolone.
You just described one of the famous Catalan tapas Pan Con Tomate (maybe minus the cheese)
Damn, OP. Here you thought you were making shitty white trash pizza and all along you were making Catalan tapas Pan Con Tomate!
It’s definitely popular here in Barcelona pan con tomate is a regular dish across Spain. It’s especially hilarious when you get the little condiment container full of tomato & garlic and mini-olive oil bottle on renfe.
I like to take those boxes of breakfast cereal they sell and I like to whip them up in big bowl with some milk. I call it cereal with milk.
But what if you aren’t feeling like soup?
Sometimes I add some sliced banana or strawberries, but that may be over the scope of this question.
Cook some rice in a rice cooker, top it with a runny sunny-side up egg, add some high quality soy sauce and a bit of butter. Sliced green onions if I’m feeling less lazy.
Egg and rice is the easy comfort food my husband learned from his grandmother. It’s our too lazy to cook or shop dinner.
Looks like super easy and great, love the idea :)
Add some peanut butter for some real gourmet shit
Pesto pasta.

Cook a packet of pasta and drain

Put in a bottle of pesto
Done.
Sprinkle goat or feta cheese on top and you’re riding high

I have an electric kettle, so instant ramen. I live near an asian grocery store, so I also have a ton of ramen varieties
Poaching an egg as you’re cooking the ramen is probably my favorite life hack.
Sometimes I will fry some spam until it is a little crispy and add that too. Egg(s) + spam in spicy ramen is awesome. Favorite spicy noodles are nongshim shin noodles red.
Shin Ramyun black is a superior instant noodle IMO. Though personally I really like Samyang buldak hot chicken noodle.
I like to add a soft boiled egg and some sliced spring onion.
I love the black. Also a favorite.
Note that I said spicy noodles above. I think the red is still my favorite spicy noodle. Chicken bomb noodles are good but goddam spicy. I call the buldak chicken bomb…guess why…
I also do not like hard boiled eggs. Love medium boiled.
I think we agree about all this more than we disagree.
That’s a good one! One of my favorites is to order some hot and sour soup, and place cooked noodles in the cup
Absolutely, it’s amazing how far you can stretch a good soup base. Hot and sour soup has a lot of flavor.
If you have an Asian grocery nearby, try getting a package of salted duck eggs. They’re boiled and packed in salt at the factory, so that the whole egg absorbs the saltiness trough the shell. They come individually vacuum sealed, so you can just cut it in half with a knife and scoop the egg out of the shell with a spoon, they’re delicious in ramen.
peanut butter
Yep, poaching an egg (or a couple) in the ramen as it’s about to finish cooking is one of the ways I add eggs to instant ramen. Another is a technique similar to egg drop soup: stream pre-beaten eggs while stirring the ramen (also just about the ramen is done cooking).
But I default to adding soft-boiled eggs. I cook the thoroughly washed eggs in the same water I’d cook the ramen on. I take the eggs off (put them into cold water if necessary, or I can just take them a bit early and let the residual heat take it the rest of the way), then cook the noodles. While waiting for the noodles to cook, I peel the eggs and then put them back into the noodles just before serving.
I’m too lazy for this. This means waiting for a pot of water to boil. I just pan fry one, shred it with the chopsticks, and call it a day.
Oh, to clarify - I’m talking about doing it in the same pot while the noodles cook.
Oooooh. Interesting! Gonna have to try that out.

Bake some frozen chicken nuggets, toss in buffalo sauce, cut up some iceberg lettuce and throw it all in a soft tortilla with ranch.
Rice via rice cooker. Ground chicken cooked in a frying pan with preminced garlic and squeeze tub of ginger. Pinto beans from a can. Mix em all together in a bowl with shredded cheese.
Open faced sandwiches (smørbrød/smørrebrød/smörgås) - slice of bread or toast, butter and some topping.
Very nearly as no-effort is boiling or frying an egg. Very nearly as no-effort as that is a scramble or omelette. Grilled cheese sandwich. Pasta with butter (sauce), garlic and/or chili oil. Baguette/sub/hoagie kind of thing as an upgrade on the sandwich - they sell “half-baked” ones that keep for a good while. Bacon and eggs, carbs optional.
A basic stir fry or meat-in-pan-sauce are still easy. Get whatever equipment makes your preferred foods (or healthy eating) easier.
Schnitte reporting in.
Interesting. What we would call “snitter” is larger quantities of open-faced sandwiches, as more of a catering thing that’s traditional in some contexts. Usually with a few typical toppings like scramble/smoked salmon, roast beef and potato salad, prawns and mayo.
Boxed mac n cheese with tuna
I like the Pasta Roni angle hair pasta with tuna. Cooks in 5 minutes, throw the tuna in the last minute, delicious!
1 blue box Mac, finished + 1 ramen pack, finished = ‘Hate Pot’ cause you’ll hate how much you like it.
Can be some dishes though, feeds two in a sitting, double to feed four, grab a fork and gather round the combination. Soul food for 90s latchkey kids
I did the most half-assed version of this for lunch the other day. Leftover half box of Kraft Mac, a can of tuna that was in the fridge, and a little tangy BBQ sauce, I think McD’s brand. It was… passable. I think my stomach was okay with it. I’m still alive and not on the toilet.
If you’re lazy but not in a rush, legume soup. Throw lentils, canned chopped tomatoes, frozen veg and some spices and maybe stock powder in a pot and wait. If you don’t want to wait for lentils to cook, replace by canned beans. Easy, cheap, minimal cleanup (this is usually the part I’m too lazy for) and very reasonably healthy.
I started making soups recently starting from beef or vegetable stock in those boxes (tetrapack?). So damn quick and easy! I do not know why I didn’t start doing it earlier.
- Macaroni
- Can of concentrated tomato soup
- Half a can of milk
- Shredded cheese added when mixing
That’s basically my grandma’s macaroni. She adds ground meat. It’s delicious in its own regard.
I wonder how good Annie’s boiled in tomato soup would be - just add the cheese mix and milk to it towards the end.
Tofu scramble. I premake the spice mix, then open up a pack of tofu and crumble it into a preheated pan with oil, sprinkle over the spice mix, add black beans then pepper and sriracha (as well as a bit more of the spice mix), stir and heat it up a bit, then done. If I’m feeling less lazy, I’ll add veggies and stuff, but it’s honestly decent like this with the right spices. Here’s what I use for my spice mix (this is for a full jar which will last between 10 to 20 meals depending on how heavily seasoned I’m feeling that month):
- 8 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 4 teaspoons chili powder
- 4 teaspoons ground cumin
- 4 teaspoons black salt (also called kala namak) or regular salt
- 3 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Two minute noodles (ramen) and a cup of frozen veggies. Boil in water for 5 mins.
- While that’s boiling, fry an egg separately - I like to season with a little salt and pepper while the egg is frying.
- Once noodles/veg are done, drain then add the noodle seasoning, a little butter and half a cup of shredded parmesan. Stir through until butter & cheese has melted and everything’s well combined.
- Put noodles and veg in a bowl, egg on top.
- Enjoy!
I boil half a cup of rice, add 3tbsp of peanut butter and about 100ml sweet chili sauce, and I mix it evenly. Bish bash bosh.
Bish bash bosh.
I do the same, but the meal did not have a name. Until today, it’s called “Bishbashbosh” now. I had to use google to translate to understand what it means, I am from Germany.
Smoked salmon and cherry tomatoes
Oatmeal made with milk. Stir in peanut butter when it is hot and ground cinnamon. Filling.
Spiced fried chicken breast, steamed veggies and carb of choice: mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, or wheat bread.
“Stir fry”: Fry meat of choice in a frying pan, add spices and vegetables of choice. Eat with rice or on/with wheat bread. 1 frying pan with meat and vegetables add carb to that.
Grill meat and vegetables of choice. Add carb on the side.
