Student cooking

falafel is pretty easy, but I find the lebanese version far superior. fluffier. same with humus.

Though I never make them (but knew how) since I know where to get it where it's much better than my attempts would serve.



For the OP, forgot a stir fry is super easy to make. just dice chicken up, add spides, marinate in terriyaki or soy, and buy one of those frozen veggie packs from trader joes (yes I usually do it fresh these days, but as a student...) and cook the chicken in the pan and then throw in the veggies. Rice in a pot. Done and done.

So I tried out Ueber's recipe



Chopping stuff up.



Great dish, solid level of spiciness. I made a little too much rice (I was eyeballing it, not using instant), but next time I'm going to get better consistency. Excellent portion size.

I'll be busy this week but I'm going to be trying out more recipes and I'll post results. I figure doing this will keep me on track, it's extra motivation, and once I actually make something I feel invigorated. My tools though are going to keep me on a relatively simple level for now.

Re: comments about whether I can handle risotto, yeah I might be able to. I'm not completely new to cooking, but curry's actually not too hard. Some people grind and mix their own spices but I just get a mix from the Indian store (not in the regular grocery store, not sure if "curry" there is any good).

Pasta is soo easy to do, here's another: buy a cup of sour cream, and fry some chopped bacon and/or mushrooms with chopped onions and combine it with the sour cream in a skillet, add cooked pasta with it, salt and pepper to taste and youve got a nice meal in 5 minutes.

Yeah, I tried it once and then thought "um I could just eat this as a rice dish." Well...maybe if it's soupier.

I don't know, when I was in Mexico they would eat tamales sandwiched between two slices of bread. Driest thing I ever did eat..
