Many people will have time to be alone, there may be strivers who leave their hometown to work hard, there may be workers who pursue independence and freedom, there may be housewives whose children live alone as adults, I think every friend will have time to be alone, so that they will encounter a situation where they eat alone. I don't know how to deal with eating alone at home? Do you want to grab a snack? Do you order takeout to solve the problem of eating? Or do you make yourself a delicious meal with your heart?
During this time, my husband had to go to work from Monday to Saturday, and I ate at home alone at noon. When I used to eat alone, I would cook noodles with meat and vegetables and eat lunch in more than ten minutes. However, I read many articles that say: "Eat well for breakfast, eat enough for lunch, and eat less for dinner." "Lunch is not enough to eat, dinner should eat more, in order to eat healthier, I think lunch or seriously make yourself a delicious meal." 」
These were my lunches, with shrimp and tomato soup, braised eggplant, and multigrain rice. I am used to having soup for every meal, drinking a small bowl of soup before eating, according to cantonese people, it is to moisturize it, and those few mouthfuls of soup will make people have a sense of happiness. When I don't want to spend time making soup, I will "roll soup", rolling soup is the cantonese name, boiling soup is boiling boiling water, boiling soup means boiling soup with ingredients and water. I used tomatoes, shrimp and egg soup, so that there are vegetables and soups, which is simple, fast and delicious.
Let's take a look at the details of how I cook lunch alone.
【Fresh shrimp tomato soup】
Fresh shrimp tomato soup is a dish, but also a bowl of soup, friends with children at home, you can try to make fresh shrimp tomato soup for children, bright color, can attract the attention of children, sweet and sour, children eat appetizers, add eggs and fresh shrimp, you can add protein to children.
Fresh shrimp tomato soup uses 500 grams of tomatoes, 200 grams of fresh shrimp and 1 egg, fresh shrimp put in the refrigerator freezer for half an hour, fresh shrimp is easier to peel after hardening, fresh shrimp peeling shell after picking the shrimp line, fresh shrimp with salt, cooking wine, pepper and starch marinated for a while.
Tomatoes peeled and cut into small pieces, I personally prefer to use more tomatoes to cook soup, tomatoes more water less, tomato soup is more concentrated.
Heat the oil in a wok, sauté the minced garlic, add the tomatoes and sauté, sauté the tomatoes until soft and rotten, and the tomatoes out of the broth.
Add 2 bowls of water and cover to cook the tomato soup. When the tomato soup is boiling, add an egg and marinated shrimp. The eggs are cooked and seasoned with a little salt, and the shrimp and tomato soup is cooked to serve in the bowl.
Fresh shrimp tomato soup is more delicious than soup boiled with only eggs, it does not take too long to add shrimp meat, shrimp meat is just cooked and fish meat is refreshing and delicious.
【Braised eggplant】
Braised eggplant is a popular home-cooked dish, braised eggplant using 3 slender eggplant, cut off the head and tail parts of the eggplant, and cut the eggplant into slender strips. Sauté the pesto in hot oil in a wok and sauté the eggplant strips until soft. Add a spoonful of cooking wine, soy sauce and oyster sauce, depending on your taste. Sauté the eggplant and seasoning well. When the eggplant is cooked, add some sesame oil and stir-fry well.
These were my own lunches, a soup dish and a plate of roasted eggplant, which were easy to make, but each of which was something we both liked to eat.
