Rice with Rice
My favorite dish
Here to introduce you some of the easiest comfort Korean food: Kimchi Fried Rice!
Stir fry some leftover kimchi with some salt and some soy sauce and some olive oil(you can skip that tho). Put cooked rice after 1-2min and cook for another 3 min.
If you don't like Kimchi's strong flavor this is definitely the way to try. There's plenty of recipies online and honestly it's a recipie that just couldn't go wrong.
As a college student, I live off of that.
In winter I find soups are great dishes with minimal effort. I chop up some root veg, roast it in the oven until it's soft then mix it with some liquid and blend it. You can use whatever you have on hand (carrots, squash, pumpkin, sweet potatoes) and you can vary the liquid as well. I usually use vegetable stock but coconut milk works well. Add some spices to the vegetables when roasting or just stick with some salt. Then just serve with the nicest bread you can get hold of and eat!
In summer, I always enjoy pasta dishes with some kind of pesto. All you need for a normal pesto is garlic, toasted nuts, oil, an Italian hard cheese and basil. Pine nuts are traditional but cashews are more readily available (and cheaper where I live). If you've got a lemon, squeeze some juice in as well. The last month or so has been wild garlic season so I've foraged for the leaves and used it in place of both the basil and garlic. Carrot, beetroot and radish leaves are good too (plus others I haven't tried that I'm sure will also work) or you can roast beetroot or pepper and blend them into the mixture. I just serve this with some pasta, vegetables and cheese (normally feta) and you can make the pesto quite quickly while the pasta is cooking.
Chili. Not a ton of work but always delicious. Best bang for the ~~buck~~ work.
Just crack an egg or two on a pan. Grate some cheese on it (not sure on the English name of the cheese I use, but not all of them will work as well). Depending on how I'm feeling that day I might cut up some sausage on top as well. Season with a fuck ton of salt and black pepper.
You can either eat it directly off the pan with slices of bread or throw it inside two large slices of bread and eat it like a sandwich. If you're going for the second approach make sure you cook the egg well, otherwise you're gonna be making a mess.
