Easy food!

You'll find that for lunch I usually like to make myself salad or stir fry. And that I'm crazy over soy sauce and mirin together. Mirin is sweet cooking wine made from rice. It is delicately sweet and paired with soy sauce makes that sweet & salty combination some of us often crave. It is heaven.

Vegetable gyoza with orange peppers and greenbeans

Really simple to make. Gyoza is a type of asian dumpling popular in japanese cuisine. These are frozen and I got them from the supermarket.
First, fry the gyoza. Once the bottom is golden, add water to the frying pan and cover to steam 3-4min. Set aside.
Second, fry minced ginger (if you like it) and vegetables. Add equal amounts of mirin and soy sauce to pan. Let the alcohol evaporate a little. Add the gyoza and cook a little more.

P.S.: When I say fry, I really mean put a touch of oil, not 3 tablespoons of oil.

Salad with black beans and avocado dressing

Ok so this salad might not look too appetizing because I didn't place the vegetables all nicely, but it's quite delicious.
The avocado dressing is a little spicy and gives a creamy guacamole-like flavor.
There's romain lettuce, grated carrots, tomatoes, black beans, cucumber, red and orange pepper. And probably other things. My salads are like tornados, they have a lot of things in them.

Yeah, so stir-frys and salads make great one dish meals when you are eating solo either for lunch or supper. You are obviously allowed to make them for other people too! ^__^ Share the joy!!
