[Cooking the ingredients] Non-nutritious and money-saving dishes at the end of the month

The total cost of lunch + dinner for a week is 462 yuan as shown in the figure:

This time I was shopping at ibuy, because I bought it with a friend and it was inconvenient to post a screenshot of the list, so I just wrote it by hand.

Lunch: Simple noodle soup, because I don't eat breakfast, this time there is a lot of noodles. A meal of 300 grams of oil noodles and the ingredients on the list, together with the spare ribs stock cubes (half a block at a time), use the same Guobao cooking pot, which can be completed within 10 minutes, which is quick and easy.

For dinner, a bento prepared on Sunday is microwaved.

There are two dishes in total:

❶ Dry-fried chicken thigh with mayonnaise or barbecue sauce to enhance the flavor, or pure original flavor.

❷ Mixed Vegetable Curry

Time spent: 1.5 hours including cooking

This time, I also used the Guobao cooking pot, and I used it crazy when I didn’t use it a few times and it was still very good.

After putting the rice down to cook, first dry fry the chicken thighs, but I was worried that the coating of the pan would not be very good, so I sprayed some oil. If you use a good frying pan, you can skip the oil at all.

Put 4 pieces of boneless chicken thighs in the pot size and it is almost full. During the process, I cover the lid and turn on a strong fire, and fry it in a half-simmering way.

The ingredients are all ready-made, so there is no need to prepare the ingredients, and there is no need to make a cut on the chicken, because this small cooking pot is a one-pot cooking, and the heat is evenly heated, so basically you don’t need to worry about it. If you are using a gas stove, you should honestly make a few cuts and watch the frying.

Basically, it is enough to fry out the fat and slightly burnt on both sides. It can be fried without requiring the taste.

After the chicken is done frying, the oil left in the pan can be used to fry the vegetables.

This time, I used the frozen fried vegetables from the store. A 500-gram package contains red, yellow radish, cauliflower, sweet beans, water chestnuts and so on.

Because I don't like leafy vegetables that are too soft and rotten and discolored after heating, I have always been troubled by the vegetables used in lunch boxes. Just to save money, I replaced them with frozen vegetables, which is convenient and fast...

However, the frozen vegetables this time were a bit beyond imagination, because the radishes in them were very large... I didn't pay attention and put them directly into the pot. I felt that the taste of the dishes might be heavy, so I threw two small curry cubes and cooked them into vegetables. Curry too.

The curry block is a box of Gongken apple curry (free 👍) that was corked by an old wooden when I went home for the new year. Because it was temporarily turned into a boiled curry, the cooking time could not be completed within an hour.

In terms of serving size, the frozen vegetables are a bit small after being turned into curry. After all, they have to be divided into six meals... But the taste of the curry is strong enough that it can be used as a side dish.

I put the chicken thigh meat directly on the rice, then cut it into pieces with cooking scissors, and then pour it with my favorite sauce after heating it.

The amount of rice is almost a bowl, so the feeling of satiety is absolutely ok! The money-saving bento at the end of the month is very satisfying~

The last 1000 yuan spent less than 500 yuan to destroy two meals, and the remaining money can buy fruit or snacks to prevent the dilemma of wanting to spend money but not having enough money to eat late night 👍

Stay safe through the moonlight 😂

in conclusion

❶ Frozen mixed vegetables sold at the store are very convenient, but if you are afraid of whole vegetables like me, you should consider the cooking method, such as using a heavier flavor such as curry or barbecue sauce to season. If the portion is fried, it is a large plate, which can be used as the main dish of a meal for one person, or a side dish for a meal for two.

❷ The noodle soup is super greasy, I decided to develop a new time-saving fast and cheap lunch next week...

❸ This menu is very suitable for the moonlight family to solve the three meals at the end of the month. If you don’t have enough to eat, you will be full (✘
