If you have a rice cooker, you can use the rice from it. If not and you don't want to clean two pots, just boil the rice in a saucepan and once ready, get it out and fry the canned tuna with some chopped onion and black pepper.
Going to Indonesia, you can find out that's a variety of their national dish (nasi goreng). A sunny side up egg on top of that is an extra bonus.
Bit too (cheap) carb rich for my liking. What is with eating so many carbs, is this book a recipe for prediabetes or a psychotherapy phishing session? And because of forced eating during childhood, this just brings back trauma masquerading as food dislikes. 3 square meals can be bad for your health.
recipes to make when you've worked a 16-hour day Why not just sit down in a restaurant on your way home? Or if you worked at home, take a nice walk and sit down in a nice restaurant along the way?
Any non-wealthy single person faces an uphill battle to both 1. earn a living 2. take proper care of themselves. In the Middle Ages people invented a rather neat solution for this problem: go live together in a big building, work together, pray together, cook together and call it a monastery.
Kinda weird end result... Who did profit anyway, apart from upper management.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
A lot of dishes would require more than one of these, at which point you might as well get an actual stove.
With an Instant Pot, an induction burner, and a toaster oven you can make anything that would require a normal kitchen, just in smaller portions (as in, you aren't cooking a whole turkey or a giant casserole).
My food for when I can't be bothered is pasta with canned pesto sauce (+optional parmesan). Can eat it every day. Another a bit more involved option is pasta with checkpeas: https://www.seriouseats.com/pasta-e-ceci-pasta-with-chickpea... What's yours go-to recipes?
cacio e pepe; easily the best pasta dish vs effort imo.
One thing that can be tricky is keeping the emulsion smooth and not suddenly have the cheese turn chunky. What I've found very useful there is to put aside some of the pasta cooking water and then blend it up with the cheese on the side using an immersion blender. When you reach a good level of creaminess, you pour it back into the pot with the now drained pasta and use the residual heat of the pot and pasta to slightly reduce it down to the perfect level while constantly stirring.
This should make the whole process a lot more reliable while not changing the flavor by adding more complex ingredients.

Then guilt trip others to donate to you money and their inheritance and end up filthy rich... Still doing the same... Kinda weird end result... Who did profit anyway, apart from upper management.
As a starter, one must at least eliminate all candy, sugary products, and bad oils. I look around and see no hope for society. Even "healthy meals" are just a substitute for rich, once-a-week-at-most recipes
In Spanish, the centuries-old idiom says it best: mesa pobre, mesa sana (a poor table is a healthy table). But people find that too _boring_
