4 Easy Meal Ideas for Work/School
Burak’s Noodle
Servings: 1
Difficulty: Easy
Cooking time: 3 minutes
Prep time: 5 minutes
70 g instant noodles, 1 small pack
1 clove of garlic
1,5 cups boiling water
1 carrot, halved and sliced
5-6 leaves lettuce, sliced
1 teaspoon pepper paste or salsa sauce
3-4 tablespoons soy sauce
5 tablespoons sunflower or olive oil
2 eggs
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• Empty instant noodles into 1,5 cups of briskly boiling water and simmer for 3 minutes with a clove of garlic.
• Mix soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sunflower oil, pepper paste and the cooked garlic in a bowl.
• Separate half of the mixture that you prepared then crack 2 eggs into the other half and beat them.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a non-stick pan, pour the egg mixture into the pan. With using a spatula, gently pull the eggs from the edges of the pan into the centre. Turn and tilt the pan so the runny eggs take up the available space and again gently pull it towards the centre. This gentle pulling towards the centre of the pan makes lovely, light ribbons of egg.
• Pour noodles with cooking water in a plate, place the carrots, lettuce, sauce on sides and scrambled eggs on centre. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on your plate and it’s ready!
• If you want to prepare your meal to go, take a jar, put the sauce on the bottom, noodles on top of the sauce, then carrots, lettuce, eggs and sesame in order. Close the lid of the jar. Shake the jar when you want to eat.
• If you want to eat as a soup, add 1 cup of boiling water and enjoy!

Thank you guys for the wanderful channel. Cheers and all the best!
Bir kadinbudu köfte tarifi de guzel olabilir sanirim.Ozellikle yurtdışı takipcileriniz icin.
I like the dessert! I'm going to try it using my homemade granola and whole berry cranberry sauce. I also love the soup with yogurt and will definitely be trying that! Thank you for all the inspiration!
Awesome! All of these look fantastic – thank you!
Furkan‘s Burrito is my odds-on favorite…but the other recipes are mouthwatering too❤️❤️ just delicious….as always.
Maybe it's a cliche, but as a German, I fell in love with the potatoes. 😂
But I am absolutely sure that I will try all those awesome ideas – thank you to the whole team.
If you have some ideas for dry mixes which can be prepared by adding boiling water (like couscous with herbs, spices, dried tomatoes,… ) that would be awesome for some hectic days. 🎉
All the best for you and your team. 🌷
Great compilation! I'd love to see more of such ideas for easy to reheat (and delicious looking!) lunches <3

What a great team you are 😎👍 If you ask me, I would like to see more recipes like those. Not only for the cost but also for getting new ideas and inspiration for different ways to use what we already may have in the kitchen/house.
❤
Hello dear Refika and team! Sorry for the lack of comments lately but here I am again. I'm going to share this video with my nieces who are away at college and Im sure they'll find some inspiration. I loved some of these even for myself, especially soup…I just finished a big pot of Scottish lentil soup and I'm already craving more soup!
Thank you for these lovely recipes and for thinking of ways to help us to cook well and look after our bodies by putting good things into them ❤
I tried the 3 in 1 potatoes dish. I used red pepper paste instead of tomato paste and green beans instead of peas. So good! Thank you for the idea!! More videos like this please! You guys are great! Love to you all!!
So hard to pick a favourite, they are all great! Beautifully executed, as always – I think I will try the fit granola tart when family gathers next month, as I haven't made that before. Having started out as a frugal cook nearly 40 years ago, I applaud your reach to educate younger people who may not have been taught the basics!
All of them seems moth watering🤤😋. I will try all recipies asap. Thank you for all😇🙏🏻
Merhaba to all the team, even non working moms love quick and new ideas 😉 all of them are great I used to watch you speaking Turkish even I know little bit am very happy that you got the English videos. Keep going for more such videos
All the respect and love
They all look amazing and I love the concept. Would like to see more

Hi. Great ideas!
I'm looking for recipes that can be reheated in microwave. I have one in school so if I have 8hours of lectures it is super nice to eat something instead of cofee and cigaretes…
We have snow here in Warsaw, so "heating season just started" and my body wants to have all fats and meat in the world ;D
This week I'll try to prepare kisir instead of instant soup. Kus kus/ bulgur is groovy!
