Creamy chicken? wtf is wrong with you?

I've had that flavor, once. Nearly made me puke, not exaggerating. One of more vile things I've eaten.

Some fuel for the instant ramen debacle going on here:

Not quite restaurant quality, so don't get your expectations too high, but this here is the absolute king of instant ramens.

Does it come with those dressings?

No - it comes with a seasoning packet, a pouch of crispy fried onions, a chili paste packet, oil (sesame?) packet, and some kind of sauce packet that looks like soy sauce but doesn't taste like it... /shrug.

For best results, save the fried onion until JUST before you eat it, and sprinkle it on top - stays crispy that way.

Also if you put an egg in the water as soon as you put the pot on heat, it'll be perfectly soft-boiled when the noodles are ready.

The sauce packet is usually kecap manis, it's an Indonesian sweet soy, so your guess was pretty accurate.

Hey guys. How woukd you feel about booze that as vitamins in it?

Maybe some sort of smoothie booze.

I feel like you just invented cocktails again.

I've looked this up before actually since I've seen alcoholics have some sort of disease which kills them from lacking a vitamin.

We want to look down on others too much and prefer them to die. Government did not want to promote excessive drinking by adding the vitamin to booze to prevent the deaths so people knew drinking was bad.

Fortifying alcohol with B1 / Thiamine would literally prevent brain disease.

It also lowers lots of other nutrient levels...

unironically buy bags of frozen veg and throw them into the broth, let it heat back up, then throw noodles in

I've been thinking about writing a book called "I fucking hate cooking"

And it would be a guide to making the easiest meals possible. But healthy and cheap. Something like this would be in the book.

But I'm lazy, I'll never write that book. Plus I hate cooking too much to actually write it.

I also dislike cooking. I like going to Costco and buying a rotisserie chicken so I don't have to cook meat during the week.

I also hate cooking, but I'm broke and vegetarian.

1lbs of dried chick peas goes in my housemates pressure cooker on Sunday, and 12 servings of chickpeas gets scooped into ziplock bags and thrown in the fridge and freezer for the rest of the week.

On top of rice with a bag of microwave steam veg, stirred into a premade curry, blended and served on top of pasta like a weird hummus alfredo, thrown into a Quesadilla (side note, what's a Quesadilla without cheese called?), smashed on top of toast and covered in whatever condiment I have. Or more realistically, I toss some salt in the zip lock bag and just eat out of the bag with a spoon while staring into the fridge wondering what I'm going to make for dinner, before grabbing a slightly limp carrot and an almost empty jar of peanut butter I left out instead of throwing away and telling myself "this is a balanced choice, protein, carbs, fats, a vegetable..."

Rice gets a similar treatment to the chickpeas, a big batch in the rice cooker on Sunday, divvied up and frozen for quick and cheap rice during the week without having to cook it from scratch after work. We don't have "minute rice" or parboiled rice in my country, and the "microwave pouch" rice doesn't fit in my budget.

A former roommate got me "What the Fuck Should I Make for Dinner?!" as a gift a few years back. Pretty funny book, written in the style that reminds me of Bill Burr a little bit.

"We're making fucking roasted chicken, alright? So buy the damn chicken, along with these herbs you probably don't fucking have, and we'll get this shit rolling."

Yea that half pint was never gonna cut it. Need that full pint. (200mls vs 375mls for my homies in every other country in the world)

You could’ve afforded three of those. Cheapskate.

Vegetables were a lie perpetrated by the CIA. Don't believe the lies!
