Buy a decent Wok and you can eat healthy food that takes a few minutes to prepare and cook. Spray on oil is best as you use little of it.
Rice and noodles are cheap, filling and a healthy backdrop to whatever else you use.
Woks can be used for deep frying your fish. Have you ever made some batter and cooked your own cod, haddock or perhaps plaice fried fish?
Frying chicken is easy - and buy fresh chicken and cut it yourself.
A wok can be used to make curries, pastas, fried rice dishes, fried noodle dishes, soups, casseroles (if the wok is oven proof to a certain tamp) and many more things besides.
Spaghetti is a breeze in a wok.
Rice is cheap as hell when you consider half a mug will be enough for one meal. Buy in bulk if you can and its cheaper still. Boil the long grain or basmati rice for 12 mins, drain, leave to one side. Take half a big onion, chop it, mushrooms, chop, sweet pepper, half a carrot, use a few tablespoons of any old peas. Even throw a few baked beans in there.
I fry the rice then leave to one side, then fry the mushrooms first then throw then to one side and fry everything else and throw to one side. I use two eggs, medium size, whisk, then throw into wok. Throw rice and everything else in when egg is almost solid then fry on high heat for one minute or until you see all the egg cooked. I stir all the time when frying anything.
Add spring onions, fresh herbs (free if grown) and throw some cashews in or a touch of raw cabbage lightly chopped to the fry.
I use less than a tablespoon of oil. May get olive oil but I use basic veg oil, rape seed oil I think.
Add curry spices, and stir in well. Garnish with fresh parsley. This will fill a plate and is pretty healthy. You can add whatever you have hanging around and replace curry spices for soya sauce. Tomatoe sauce is nice also.
Cost is less than £1 UK. Bear in mind all the peppers and so on are cheap in a greengrocers and they will keep in a fridge for a week. Herbs and spices are cheap and last if you shop for cheap deals.
This meal has no meat so is a bit cheaper than one with meat. A whole chicken is cheap and can last a week with chicken curry, chicken fried rice and chicken fried noodles.
