Mine isn't really a "Meal", I used to put margarine spread on white bread and sprinkle a tiny bit of cinnamon and sugar on it as a sweet treat growing up.

Fry ground pork and break them into small pieces (like 1/2 cm diameter). Add minced garlic (and onion optional), salt, and Maggi seasoning.

Eat with rice, butter, and fried egg (optional). To make it more nutritional, add some sort of vegetable. I like stir fried spinach with garlic and fish sauce.

Tip; use some kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) instead of maggi.

Bacon and white rice with pickles.

Elbow macaroni and pasta sauce

Toast bread with a bit of ketchup and a slice of cheese on top, sprinkle a bit of salt if necessary, then bake until the cheese bubbles. I call it the poor man's pizza.

Toast two slices. Slice of cheese between. Microwave 12 seconds to melt cheese a little. Hate waiting for toasters though,

I once ate nothing but eggs and rice for 3 months. Rice too slow. Another time I bought a 9-pound sack of roasted, unsalted cashews at wholesale, and ate only that until it was gone. Interesting pale results in the bathroom on that one.

I made the first one for my mom when I was like 7-8 years old and it blew my moms mind that I figured it out before her, lol I called it a "ghetto grilled cheese" and it's legit a staple of her diet still 20 years later. I only "discovered" it because I wasn't allowed to use the stove.

Indomie bbq chicken flavor.

Until more recent times, a handful of hard boiled eggs was cheap, highly nutritious, and damned good with a sprinkle of salt/pepper/tajin/paprika/furikake or a dollop of mayo/sour creme/sriracha/nacho cheez/butter/etc. Potatoes are still pretty good in the same ways; just bake and let cool and you can add any of those same toppings and chow down at any time. Or get the smaller ones and airfry with a spritz of oil and salt. As long as you eat the skins, it's good nutritionally too.

Cube, oil, salt, pepper, garlic, oregano and squeeze a shot ton of lemon on them after rising to a nice golden brown

Surprisingly quick

Carrots salted oiled and waay more dill than it looks like you need also delicious. Grow your own, finding the right variety of carrots and you will be wondering where they have been all your life

Still cant find the ones my grandparents used to yell at us for eating straight from their garden

Not foodie, so I just eat whatever takes the least time and mess to make. The toaster takes too long for me. Fold a slice of cheese in a piece of bread in under one minute!

I once ate nothing but eggs and rice all day for 3 months. (Took too long to cook rice.) Another time I bought a 9-pound sack of unsalted but roasted cashews and ate nothing else until it was gone in a couple weeks. (Interesting, pale results in the bathroom from that one.)

A whole string cheese with a piece of bread wrapped around it. Still goes crazy honestly. You just can’t let anyone else see you eating it 😂

Mine was to grab a big bag of the cheapest rice at the Asian supermarket and a bulk bag of black beans. Cook rice and beans then mix with soy sauce/black pepper. If I had eggs I would add a fried egg for breakfast or hard boiled for lunch / dinner.

While the stove was broken I would poke holes in potatoes with a fork and microwave them until soft. Salt & pepper or whatever seasoning you had. Butter was a great addition to this if it was around.

For a side dish or snack I would often do ramen coleslaw. Smash up the ramen noodles and pour over a whole bag of Cole slaw. Pour the seasoning packet on top of that. Toast almond slivers then at the end add some sesame oil to warm up the oil. Pour the almonds and oil into the slaw and mix.
