How To Make Spicy Cheesy Ramen

Start by boiling your ramen until just cooked; you want it to be soft but still bouncy. In a separate pan, melt some butter and sauté minced garlic until it’s golden and aromatic. Add chili flakes, gochujang (or your favorite hot sauce), and the ramen seasoning packet. Stir in a little milk to create a creamy base, then add your choice of cheese and let it melt into a smooth, cheesy sauce. Toss in the noodles and mix until every strand is perfectly coated in the rich, cheesy goodness.

This ramen is easy to make, but still indulgent, perfect for nights when you want something quick and comforting. Feel free to play around with the flavors: add vegetables for freshness, an egg for extra creaminess, or even top it with green onions or sesame seeds for some extra depth.

Poha

Busy mornings don’t have to mean boring breakfasts. Vegetable Poha, an Indian breakfast dish, is a quick and flavorful dish. It is light, satisfying, and still has that comforting, home-cooked feel, perfect for when you feel homesick.

How To Make Poha

Start by rinsing the poha under cold water and letting it sit for a few minutes to soften. In a pan, warm a little oil and add mustard seeds until they begin to pop, then toss in the rest of your aromatics: onions and curry leaves, cooking until fragrant and slightly tender. Stir in turmeric, salt, and a pinch of sugar if you want to add a hint of sweetness. Gently fold in the softened poha and let it cook through, and soak up all the flavors. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh coriander for brightness.

This dish is light yet filling, perfect for busy mornings or as a quick snack. You can prepare it ahead of time and store it in the fridge, and reheat it in the microwave before eating. Feel free to customize it by adding in diced potatoes, peanuts, seasonal vegetables, or even a little chilli for extra spice.

These breakfast burritos are the perfect solution for busy days -- make them fresh in the morning or prep them before for a quick, satisfying start to your day. Just pop one in the microwave for 30 seconds, and you're out the door with a satisfying start to your day!

How To Make The Burrito

Start by placing frozen diced potatoes with onion and pepper in a microwave-safe bowl, tossing them with a little oil, salt, and pepper. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, poke a small hole for ventilation, and microwave until the potatoes are tender, stirring halfway through. Meanwhile, whisk eggs with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper in another microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy.

To assemble, lay out tortillas and layer the eggs, cooked potatoes, shredded cheese, and salsa down the center. For extra flavor, add sliced avocado, hot sauce, or any preferred toppings. Wrap the burrito by folding up the bottom, then folding in the sides, and rolling it tightly to seal.

These burritos can be enjoyed immediately or stored for later—wrap them up and refrigerate or freeze them for a quick meal anytime. To reheat, simply microwave until warm. Feel free to customize the ingredients to suit your taste—swap potatoes for beans, cheddar for pepper jack, or salsa for guacamole.
