Being a student means you won't have much time to make gourmet dinners nor the budget to get fresh ingredients. However, how do you PLAN to eat healthy? Well, it takes a bit of creativity and laziness. You put everything in ONE pot. Note: you can get any ingredients you like and just throw everything in one pot. It doesn't matter how you cook it: Stir-fry, boiling, using the slow-cooker, baking; you throw everything into one pot.
Why? It saves time. Also, you get more flavour in your food without having to add too much acquired taste. My boyfriend gets nervous whenever I throw everything in one pot. But hey, he's tasted it all: baked mushroom chicken, chow mein with a lot of stuff, stir-fries.... All it takes is a sense of adventure and any groceries you ALREADY have. The process really is just an improvisation of how my mom taught me to cook curry and "hot pot". Hot pot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_pot) is also known as "steam boat" in Brunei.
Stuff I used:
1 can of creamy corn
1 can of creamy corn
some small portion of canned mushroom
carrots (since I'm lazy, I used washed and skinned baby carrots)
onions/shallot
Chicken breast
Ham (a great way to use ham when it's getting closer to the expiry date; you don't have to use it if you don't eat pork)
1 egg (creamy corn generally goes well with egg; again, you can skip the egg if you aren't a big fan of eggs)
Directions:
1. Add a tiny bit of butter or cooking oil. Grill the onions, ham and chicken first.
2. When the chicken looks cooked, pour the can of creamy corn. Throw in mushrooms and carrots or any vegetables you have got.
3. When it starts to simmer, crack the egg. Stir.
And there, you have a quick meal which is brought to you by Everything in One Pot.
