Office lainons, this ones for you.

stop eating at lardbutters every afternoon. quit feeding your paycheck to vending machines. Oscar Meyer is not your friend. You need to be making home made ramen and it needs to start with mason jars. wide mouth, 16 ounce mason jars packed with anything you want. noodles, soykafake, miso, peanut butter, and a bit of hot sauce with some spinach do well. now go to the break room and fill it up with hot water. Pack an apple or a bag of granola and thats lunch.

the best part? you can make it ahead of time and a 12 pack of mason jars is dirt cheap. Need breakfast? pre-cook 9 grain cereal or some oats and pack one of these full with a bit of peanut butter or coconut flakes. once at work, hot water should do the trick.

put 10 of these together, 5 breakfast and 5 lunch.

If anyones interested I have recipes for soymilk, peanut butter, kimchi, and tofu (from scratch.)

great thread

also using glass for your lunch is super important. heating plastic with food in it = messes with your hormones and gives you man tits.

was actually trying to reply to the vegetarian thread :T oh well.

I cant tell you how to make a ramen cup; youll need to experiment with ingredients you like. but i do have recipes for cooking those ingredients :3

CHICKEN.
I dont eat it but this is lainchan so lets diy it better. Buy whole chickens. pre-cut breasts, thighs, and wings are a gift from the megacorp and were invented as a way to profit from the ignorant. Supermarkets intentionally fire up the rotisserie and start cooking whole birds around dinner time because they know psychologically you WILL want to buy the prepared bird that cost them nothing to cook at 400% markup. a 2.5 pound non-frozen bird is much cheaper than a tray of slave labour carvings, and can be unwrapped and roasted in 1 hour.

BUT THAT IS TOO fuarrrkING LONG. Enter the most cyb kitchen appliance since magnetrons heated particles at the microwave frequency: the pressure cooker.

you can pressure cook a chicken in 20-25 minutes with this $50 gadget and use half the electricity/gas it takes to cook normally. seriously. it can turn broccoli to goo in under 2 minutes. dust the bird in your favourite spices (try a mix of garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and pepper.) and set it in the cooker with 2 cups of water. pressurize, and cook for 25 minutes. the bird will be tender enough to fall off the bone (think pulled pork) because it was just cooked at 1.02 atmospheres. the water will have been automatically turned into broth. pick the chicken from the bone, and avoid the skin unless you want your own lifetime tv special where they cut you out of a trailer park bedroom and dr phil councils you on low self worth and poor eating. the broth can be frozen in an ice tray and used for quick chicken soup later.

throw it into your diy cup ramen. try spring onion, a few cubes of tofu, noodles, a little grated carrot, and a splash of soysauce/sriracha. again, hot water when ready but since theres chicken, keep it in the fridge till you need it.

Korean noodles rock. I think you mean shin bowl?:
buy yellow noodles (sometimes called long life noodles) as these are the closest to the chewy ones youre familiar with in packs at stores and even restaurants. tiny bits of dried mushroom are awesome, and they are called 'dehydrated mushrooms' at the commercial level. Harmony House Foods sells them in plastic boxes for pretty cheap. a shin bowl includes a beef bullion cube and about a teaspoon of cayenne powder. its pretty salty if i recall...

it would be better if you just made your own dried mushrooms

all that you'd need to do is buy fresh, cut em up (ooh cutting mushrooms is fun), dry them in the oven or something, store them in fridge.

i have no idea how to actually do it but its probably similar to above. give it a try!

dehydrating mushrooms sounds fun. Korean grocers will always have huge sacks of dried mushrooms on hand though (asian restaraunts rarely use fresh soykafake, dried are cheapest.) check out something called 'black fungus.' it shows up in your stir fries and asian dishes more than you think. other umame flavours you might taste but cant recognize include black sesame oil. its usually just a splash, but does a great job of simulating 'wok hei.'

Kimchi is also a total ripoff. No matter how cheap theyre selling it, you can make it for practically no money and zero effort. it also converts into a ramen soup dish thats utterly delicious.

Yeah i just checked my local grocers and they don't sell dried mushrooms so ill try doing in myself!

>>986
I agree, kimchi is definitely overpriced for how easy its made - and ill check out black fungus and black sesame oil, i usually just use regular sesame oil

Does anyone know any good recipes? I often try the stuff on this channel with good results: https://www.youtube.com/user/Maangchi

maangchi...my waifu (つ^з^)つ

her recipes like ddokboki are really good, but I hate making kimchi with rice flour. ew.

look up chichidango, and you'll have a recipe to make your very own mochi. its horrendously addictive, and if you omit the copious sugar you can make savoury mochi, which can be grilled and dipped in ponzu sauce.

pic unrelated. my BF and I found a brand of bakers yeast that was nearly identical to our...er...high fructose porn syrup :3

o yeah, i always wondered what mochi tasted like after watching Tamako market, thanks for the reference

Speaking of noodles, I've had some leftover rice noodles for a while, long enough that I had to toss the fish sauce for it since we just weren't getting the other ingredients to stir fry it. Peanut butter and spicy stuff sounds like a nice use for it though.

Yep, this worked out well. Used rice noodles, peanut butter, lettuce, red pepper flakes and a sliced up carrot since I don't have any soy.

making noodles is a real pain in the butt. here ya go, lainon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wySzXVxuUI

ive tried before, but the stiffness of the dough is practically a /fit forum. checking out places like Tatsu or your local ramen dive that professes hand made noodles, youll find they have a large machine with heavy rollers.

you CAN however make home made pasta pretty easily, and ive been curious to try the alkalai method with something easy like orechette.

For nutrition, I've picked up making Gaspacho. It's a cold tomato soup. Blend 2 cans diced tomatoes, half a medium red onion, 1 bell pepper, 1 seeded and skin cucumber with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt. And the secret ingredient: 2 slices of wheat bread. Serve cold. makes 4 servings, keeps in a thermos, requires only a blender. fuarrrking delicous. Good with some artisan bread on the side. About a dollar a serving.

(Copy paste of my recipe from a cooking thread in /cyb/)

Actually made the sesame miso noodles from the original post of this pic. Replaced the shiitakes with dried black fungus. Added some chili-garlic sauce. Really good! Planning on making a few jars of this to keep in the fridge.

>wanting to eat frozen soggy noodles
Get some proper instant noodles,not the top-ramen soykaf that they sell at stores.

Also, learning how to properly cook instant-noodles can drastically improve the taste.

I got some precooked ones from the local Asian market. They're not wet or frozen, they're the dryness of noodles from like a Mongolian restaurant where you make your own stir fry, not crunchy.

This is the website from OP's pic
http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/09/diy-instant-noodle-cups-food-lab.html

Just precooked noodles, veggies, flavor base and spices, add hot water when you want to eat and wait a couple minutes.

I try to stay away from the high sodium prepackaged stuff, I've found a few spicy vegan Vietnamese ones that are decent tasting and are relatively healthy.
