10 . point for the best answerI am single and have trouble making things for myself. Does anyone have any tips or recipes?
I'm not single but, I cook alot for my family. I love to cook stir-fry and rice. They are both simple. Actually both are from differnt contients. I'm Brazilian and so is the rice.

Rice-

For each cup of rice put two cups of water. 1 cup of rice can feed my 5 person family (including my step father and little brother meraculiously). Put the cup of rice into a good 6 inch pot when its hot. Add the enough olive or vegtable oil on the rice just to cover each grain. Stir for a couple of minutes and allow the rice to warm. After a couple of minutes add the two cups of water and a little salt to taste. You can even add onioun or bell peper ( I enjoy the orange ones with rice ). Put the rice and water together and leave it on high until the water is boiling which should be 10 minutes. then turn the heat down to low and let it rest for about 20 minutes or whenever the rice grains soaked up all the water.

Stir-fry-

Get a bunch of healthy vegatables. Aim for squash though like zucinnii and yellow squash. ( those are my favoraite in this dish ). Brocolii is like a staple in stir-frys so i must say its a must but, you can do without it. Bell pepers too. I love red, orange, and yellow. They add a bit of sweetness to the dish not to mention color :) An oinioun is important to the dish also. I love to add chicken

Cooking prossce for the stir-fry:

I use a walk (i know im spelling it inorrectly but look at the picture I found-which took forever me i cnt spell the name of the darn pot-but its the very large one in the upmost left coner. you cant miss it-it's hudge.) but u can use a regular satuee pan too. Any how get it hot and rest your hand over it after five minutes. if you can hold your hand there for about 7 seconds w/o it hurting is great. and some olive oil maybe a nickle size and add the brocolii carefully bc the oil will be hot also bc the pan is hot. let the ends brown just a tad bit. then add the oninoun and let it carmilze with the brocolii. you know you've gone too far when the ends of the brocolii are dark brown. if you wanna add any meat, put some oil into the pan and let the meat cook like you would in any other pan (allow it to brown and watch the middle of it. midum heat is the best)Add the rest of the veggies. then for the sauce:

-soy sause as much as u cna to cover the ti[ of your veggies and meat if u added meat.

-peanut oil ( a little bit bc its very strong. i use for shakes )

-salt and peper to your likings.

-fresh ginger is great to make it more asian but ground ginger is ok too.

Taste it and see if you like how much soy sacue and what not to add in. I just simply look at my spices and see what sounds and smells good. lol. the dish is easy but, only seems hard bc i blabbered on. it takes 30 minutes tops.

sesame seed chicken- buy boneless chicken tenderloins or breasts and cut up into chunks-then batter it. To do this have a plate with flour a bowl with egg and cracker crumbs or cornflakes.dip it in the flour then egg then crumbs.Heat peanut oil in a pan on medium high. throw the chunks in-an fry-then maqke the sauce -a cup each of sugar,water,toasted sesame seeds and soy sauce in a sauce pan heat till the sugar dissolves keep it on medium heat so it doesnt boil.let cool and toss it with the sauce-actually make sauce first then chicken
Ask your Mum.

I mean really you should have paid attention when you were a kid. It is not effeminate for a male to learn how to cook.

Look up Anthony Bourdain for world wide cuisine.

Or just get a tin of food at the market.I am single and have trouble making things for myself. Does anyone have any tips or recipes?
Korean food can be very involved, depending on what you want to make. (Kimchis need to be fermented forever, for example.) Other things can be quite simple.



As for Thai, there are a lot of products out there to make things easier: curry paste, pre-made sauces in jars, etc. I'd start with those and then "graduate" to some cookbooks. Assuming you don't have any serious dietary restrictions, I suggest starting with a simple curry. I make mine vegetarian, but chicken is probably the easiest meat to use if you want meat. This is a quasi-Thai recipe. (Thai-inspired?)



Slice half an onion into crescents.

Peel a carrot or two and cut them on the diagonal.

Dice a sweet potato and a potato.

Halve a zucchini lengthwise and slice it on the diagonal.

Cut some broccoli into florets.

Grab some frozen peas. Heat them in a saucepan with a bit of soy sauce.

Etc.

Cut up some chicken breast, if you want it.

Dice some tofu, if you want it.



Basically, heat some olive oil (on the low end of medium) in a big pot and add the onions. When the onion starts to get translucent, add the meat. When it's mostly cooked, toss in the veggies (start with the ones that take longer to cook) and stir. The peas don't go in until the last moment. Once things have started to cook a bit (they shouldn't be browning), add a scoop of curry paste, or a good dose of curry powder. Pour in a can of coconut milk (or two, if you're making a lot). Let everything simmer until the veggies are done the way you like them. Taste to check for seasonings. Serve over steamed rice.



Easy and more brag-worthy than takeout.
I have a few tips...write down a few meals that you would like to make...know how to make...that are easy to make...go to the store and buy all the products for those meals...make them all up in one day when you are truly in the mood and have time to cook...and then put them in air tight containers and store them in the freezer and everyday take one out...whatever you are in the mood for....that way...just one day of trouble but a week or so of good meals that you only have to defrost and heat a bit....
Not what you are looking for, but I love mongolian barbecue. I work from home, so when my husband is at work and kids at school, I keep things on hand to whip up a quick stir fry/mongolian barbecue.



I make up a batch of asian noodles or spaghetti and keep it in the fridge in a ziplock bag so I can just pull some out to throw in the wok. I also found those frozen Philly cheesesteaks, but it's just the steak, they are sliced really thin and one is the perfect size for a single stir fry meal.



I make a mixture of watered down soy sauce with a little bit of salt and sugar mixed in, then I heat up the wok and throw in some sesame oil, lemon juice, a spoonful of minced garlic, add one of those steaks, slice up an entire zucchini (because I love zucchini), throw in frozen veggies like broccoli and carrots, slice up a mushroom or 2, some peppers and onions, then add the noodles and then pour a bit of the water down soy sauce mixture and cook til the veggies and steak are done. The steak will break up into thinly sliced pieces. I'm done in about 10-15 minutes.



I like fresh veggies, but you can get most any veggies frozen and ready to throw into a quick stir fry.
Well if you aren't very good at cooking then you should stick to simple. I recommend frozen spring rolls or something like that.



If you aren't a good cook but you think you can learn easily enough, just buy a cookbook or try online recipe websites. Here is one I found for you: http://www.vietnamese-recipes.com.



If you grew up eating vietnamese/korean foods and that's why you like them so much then you should just ask your mom (or whoever cooked dinner) for some recipes.
lololol!!

Lucky,



The hardest thing to do in the culinary world is to cook a meal for one person. It is mighty damned difficult.



My suggestion is to purchase either a vacuum sealer and use standard recipes, freezing the leftovers using your vacuum sealer, or purchase some good freezer safe containers for the same purpose. This way, you can make a good meal, freeze the leftovers, and make another meal the following week.



I can't suggest any specific recipes since I don't care for Vietnamese or Korean Cuisine.

BUY A COOKBOOK! and grow up!
Make simple rice: One cup of rice grains, washed and dried. Keep two cups of water to boil. Add a little salt and add the washed rice grains to it. Cover the pot with lid and cook the rice on low flame. It takes nearly 20 -25 minutes. This is basic recipe of rice. You may add vegetables and spices as per your own taste to it.



Sandwitch is the another simple recipe you may try. Apply butter to the bread slice, tomato sauce then tomato and cucumber slices and cover this with another slice. Sandwitch is ready.



Each person who eats food should start learning cooking right from the childhood starting with simple recipes. This helps you to develop your skills in various fields. Cooking involves a lot of science and at the same time it is a wonderful art that every human being should at least try to learn.
