I can knock up an omelette in about five minutes. Bung a spoonful of frozen peas in before the beaten egg, then add any bits of meat from the fridge,then maybe a chopped up tomato and some cheese. Splash of Worcester sauce too. job done.
I like the bags of stir fry vegetables you get in supermarkets. I like the mushroom one. I like to put some pre cooked chicken in the frying pan to warm up (they often do them on offer at the end of the day), a bag of stir fry vegetables and a sachet of black bean sauce. Delicious.
Cheese & Onion crisp butty with loads of butter on cheap white thick sliced bread. Or the same with fish fingers!

You really can't beat a fish finger sarnie .... unless its a bacon sarnie. Adore both of them.

Wow, not had a crisp butty since back in the day, must sort that! Fish finger buttes are a regular weekend lunch.

I haven't had a fish finger sarnie for years but it always used to my favourite thing to make when getting home from the pub. Especially with melted cheese on top.

I had my first crisp butty in about five years only about week ago. I'd forgotten just how lovely they are, Will be having another before too long I suspect.
I love fish finger butties too, have them about once a month or so.
Omelette or scrambled eggs on toast. Or, thanks to the wonder that is Zip 'n' Steam, salmon filet, new potatoes and asparagus (when in season). Pop the salmon in one bag with a squirt of lime juice or a dollop of sweet chilli sauce (or both). Pop the potatoes in another bag and microwave both bags for 3-4 mins. Asparagus in another bag with a small knob of butter and microwave that for a minute. Yum.
When it's not English asparagus season, then green beans can be substituted, or the salmon and pots can be eaten with green salad and coleslaw. Whichever way, it's a 'proper dinner' in less than 5 minutes and a really useful failsafe when I get home from work late and starving.

Good old pilchards in tommy sauce on toast.
Or cheat pizza made with toast, bit of tom puree spread on it with a mix of grated cheese, chopped onion and tuna bunged on the top and shoved under a hot grill. nom nom nom

My supper tonight is instant noodles with some leftover chinese chicken curry.
It will take 3 minutes in the microwave.

Under 5 minutes? That's barely enough time to brew a tea. Yesterday I dropped a few nests of egg noodles and some shredded pepper in some boiling water. After a few minutes, set them to drain, ditched the water and threw a few cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp soya bean paste, a tbsp sugar, a tbsp tomato puree, some mixed herbs, pepper, a handful of raisins and a tin of mackerel in tomato sauce in the pan. Probably closer to 10 mins than 5, but if I'd put 2 pans on I could've cut that down. Turned out nice. Would've added some shredded carrot and ginger if I'd have thought to.
An even quicker one I did a few weeks ago was egg noodles again (they cook much quicker than pasta and their flavour works better with these strong sauces, IMO), this time with garlic, ginger, soya sauce, honey and peanut butter. Kind of junk food, but super tasty!

Just had a supper of beans on toast with a fried egg.
Beans = 1 minute in microwave.
Fried egg = 1 minute for pan to heat and 1 minute to fry egg (possibly less).
Toast = 3 minutes? from frozen in toaster.
I didn't time it but i'd say it was all ready on the plate in 3 - 4 minutes.

Probably spaghetti on toast with melted cheese or pasta for something hot.
A nice chicken wrap for something cold.

Not sure about the egg. I jazz up beans on toast with some strong grated cheddar (after allowing the beans to cool slightly) and freshly grated pepper. And something about beanz meanz
they only really go well with orange juice, tea or coffee.
Miso soup, with chopped spring onions and Cauldron marinated tofu. Just chop the onions and boil the kettle.

I had beans on toast with melted cheese last week.
I wasn't always a fan of fried eggs but recently have been eating more fry ups and black pudding and a fried egg has become the norm.
So I thought that beans on toast was a bit bare so added the egg.
