Anyway, eggs are quick to cook.

Chili con soy/tofu.

Just onions, garlic, tomato concentrate, kidney peas, corn, pepper.

You add pepper powder, some herbs, nutritional yeast extract, soy sauce for the umami.

The soy granulate or tofu is best when soaked in herbs, nutritional yeast and soy sauce.

Just throw everything together and boil for 20min.

Something super easy if you have an oven: Just put some soft cheese (for example Camembert) into your oven for about 20 mins at 180°C. Cut it open after about 10 mins the way you can see here: If you don’t have anything to put it into for baking, just wrap in Aluminium foil.

Then eat it with baguette, chopped vegetables or even grapes.

Pizza. Flour+water+yeast+salt, tinned tomatoes + salt + pepper + olive oil + herbs + whatever, shape+bake. Under an hour from hunger to plate, once you’ve got your process down.

Have a look at this thread too!

It might not be on the same level of “easy and quick” as some of the other suggestions here but chili is really simple once you get the hang of it and you can kinda just dump random things from around your kitchen in and make a large amount of food relatively quickly and without a ton of effort.

Chop garlic, onion. Saute in olive oil, throw in a can of crushed tomatoes. Throw in one or several of: black beans, kidney beans, tuna fish, tofu cubes, whatever. Season with peppers, salt, chili, herbs as you like. Takes about 5-10 minutes.

Probably pasta works best in combination, but quinoa and others may too.

Eggs are always fantastic. It’s not cheese or ribs or hamburgers that keep me from going vegan, it’s eggs. Experiment with different prepapations and end products. You can make a soft poached egg in the microwave with some experimentation, since it depends a lot on the specific power output of your microwave.

What works for me:

Mix 4 oz water with a tiny splash of white vinegar. Microwave full power 60s.

Swirl the water with a spoon, crack the egg and drop it in the water.

Microwave full power 30s. Remove, swirl the water.

From there, it’s 1 or two more iterations of 10 seconds on full power, swirl, check for doneness.

I eat it over rice or toast or lots of different leftovers.

Scrambled eggs are great, you can add a bit of milk to fluff them up, I find I prefer no milk which makes them a bit more toothsome. Top with salt + pepper l, maybe cheese.

Fried eggs on a sandwich.

Sofboiled eggs in soup.

Eggs are the shit.

Gnocchi. Potatoes take a while to cook, but then just add flour and egg, roll, shape, boil, toss in sauce. It could take hours and be a disaster if you’re new to it, but 20 mins from cooked potatoes once you’re good. Get a potato ricer.

At night, in a container put layers of yogurt, frozen fruit, and oats. Maybe add a little water. In the morning it is ready to eat. Oats will soften. It’s a healthy parfait.

Perhaps a simple grilled cheese (although probably not very healthy).

Noodles with various kinds of pesto.

Ramen 🍜

Oats in cold milk is an excellent meal with hot coffee. To boost the oatey flavor or for a vegan option, use oat milk.

It’s possible to top this with any number of things, like ground cinnamon, caraway seeds, ground ginger, molasses, honey, fresh berries, walnuts, almonds, etc. If you have the time or desire, you can even heat the oats with the milk of choice.
