#quick eats

(FYI I googled "Oster zionist" and nothing came back connecting the two.)

I don't know more beyond the one simple recipe I use for it, but it's been emergency food multiple times the past few months. It's for coconut jasmine rice.

As someone who doesn't like coconut, I love this recipe.

Ingredients:

Jasmine Rice - 2 rice cups

CANNED Unsweetened Coconut Milk (possibly in the Asian foods section), about 13.5 ounces

1 Teaspoon of Salt

1 Teaspoon of Sugar (I think I use some sort of sugar substitute and it works fine)

1 1/4-1 1/2 normal cups of water

You will need one of those wire mesh strainer things (pictured), a can opener and a rice cooker, of course.

Steps:

1. Measure out two cups of rice into the strainer, then thoroughly wash rice until the liquid is clear. It doesn't take too long and I promise this is the most laborous part. When done washing, put the rice into the cooker.

2. Pour your water, coconut milk, salt and sugar into the rice cooker. Stir.

3. Hit start, wait for it to cook. Give it 10-15 minutes when finished cooking. Open it, stir it, if it's too wet for you, press cook again. My rice cooker just does an additional 3 minutes on its own when I press start, it doesn't do the whole time over again. Press start again if it needs additional time after that.

That's it! Feel free to eat it with some other stuff. Stir fry some frozen veggies to add in if you like. Eat it with your favorite style of cooked egg or some other protein.

I hope this can help someone like it helped me.

Treat yourself with a Dapper sarnie

We used to be pretty bad at sandwiches in this country. A sliver of pink processed meat between curling white slices of dough foam was considered a saleable ham butty. That was the bad old days. Sandwiches, like sausages, have experienced something of a renaissance in recent years and now right at the top of the food chain we have places like the Dapper Sandwich Company. The little eaterie is on…

Even without chips with Nutella and popping candy, Mumu lunch still satisfied

The task is simple – find somewhere on a typical lunchtime to eat that doesn’t involve waiting for too long, a drive-thu, plastic packaging or a sandwich/crisps/drink meal deal. A change from the usual lunchtime shrink-wrapped sausage roll or packed lunch at your desk, but still taking less than an hour.

MuMu is a pizza, burger, chicken type affair whose signature dish seems to be chips coated in…
