Your fav meal from scratch in under 5 mins
What is your fav meal(not snack), that takes less than 5 mins to prepare?
Mine is Uncle Bens pre cooked rice and a couple of smoked salted kippers(Boil in the bag type). Microwave.. 3 mins for the kippers, put the rice in after 1 1/2 mins, take the skin off the kippers(optional), 1 min, mix together with seasoning of your choice. Yummy ![]() Not sure what you call it, Paella?..Kedgeree? |

I have a few
Beans on Toast (Beans cooked in microwave for 3 minutes then put on hot buttered toast) Batchelors Chicken Supernoodles with chopped up Matthesons Smoked Sausage mixed in (Made in microwave for 5 minutes) Scrambled Egg with cheese on toast (I usually make this on the hob not mic as I feel it tastes better and I have more control on its texture) |

Depends on how strict you're being on the five minutes.
There are obvious meals. Sandwiches. A nice ham salad or cheese & pickle. Tuna & cucumber. Bacon butty can be done in 5 minutes. Cheese toastie - will need an extra 5 minutes for the toastie maker to heat. Tinned soup (or fresh soup in the fridge). A couple of minutes in the microwave. Dried noodles. 3 minutes in microwave or on hob. Chips - with curry sauce, gravy or salad. Will need an extra 5 minutes for the fryer to heat up. Ready meals? Chicago Town mini pizzas. 3 minutes in the microwave. |

![]() For a five minute meal I'd say an omelet or cheese on toast or a good ol' fashioned fryup!

Mix up a tin of tuna with a tablespoon of mayo - spread on buttered toast...then finely crumble up a bag of plain crisps and sprinkle the flakes over the tuna mayo toast.
Yum! |

But how long did it take you to get out again?
![]() Nice one, you. I get very industrious every now and again and freeze slithers of garlic and ginger and chilli on separeate baking trays, then bag them up, separately. Then I can make my favourite Thai-inspired fish and noodle soup in less than five minutes. but if you have those things from fresh, it's the peeling that takes the time, really. So even if you're starting from absolute scratch, it probably takes ten minutes, tops from starting to scoffing. A splash of fish sauce, some boiling water, whole stalk of lemon grass - bashed a bit - squirt of lemon juice and a splash of soy sauce all in a pan on the heat. Add some of the aforementioned frozen slithers of garlic, chilli and ginger. Chop up some pak choi and chuck it in. Add a packet of those straight to wok noodles Slice up some salmon and put that on top of the noodles. Put a lid on the pan so as the steam cooks the fish. Get a bowl out of the cupboard. Turn the heat off. Pour soup into bowl. Chuck a few chopped coriander leaves and stalks on top. Eat your dinner and fish out the lemongrass when you come across it. It's the quickest cooked dinner you can imagine. Totally delicious and altogether excellent and healthy. Probably no good if you don't like Thai flavours, mind. Or fish.
