I'm brainstorming a bunch of easy-to-cook one-pot meals for lunchbox purposes...to save money, of course. Maybe completely vegetarian, maybe completely oil-free. Healthy eating!
Something pseudo-Korean, to be all dumped in a rice-cooker:
white and brown rice, a variety of mushrooms (button, straw, abalone, etc), diced red carrots, snow peas, maybe some yellow capsicum, and a bit of Taiwanese sausage, all cooked in chicken broth, then topped with pine nuts, toasted nori seaweed, and bonito flakes.
Quickie soup:
Add chicken stock to cucumber, white/red carrots, corn cobs, sweet potatoes/potatoes, maybe even leafy veggies like watercress, quickly boil together or microwave, then beat an egg into the mix. Tofu optional, for protein.
Super-chawanmushi (can't be lunchboxed; it's a cook-now-eat-now dish):
Pork/chicken cubes or mince, prawns, squid, crab-sticks, carrot cubes, corn nibblets, dried Chinese mushrooms, broccoli/cauliflower pieces, beaten eggs, water, all mixed and steamed or microwaved to form a savoury egg-pudding dish.
There's also Tofu Salad, where you can top it off with lots of different toppings...that's kind of fun if the silken tofu doesn't turn into mush.
Hmmm...gotta dream up some more...
