I have not much time a day, so I usually eat food that is not cooked.

But what can you cook when you have only 5 minutes left ?

Sandwiches:

Grilled cheese
hamburger
tuna melt
steak and cheese sandwich
BLT
etc...

Any time on the weekends to cook up something hearty like stew, chili
and alike? If so, then freeze in indivual serving sizes and you're
"good to go".

If something takes 10 minutes or more of preparation time and then 5
minutes or less to cook it, is that really something that can cooked
in 5 minutes?

With the possible exception of a grilled cheese sandwich, there is
nothing so far mentioned that requires 5 minutes or less in total
preparation and cooking time.

I disagree. It does require some organization but they are all possible.

Also, I was thinking fried eggs and toast sandwich, maybe with cheese.
Break the yolk if you plan on eating it in the car, that's for sure.
Well, unless you don't mind wearing egg yolk on your shirt.

Quesadillas -

Little oil in the pan, a flour tortilla, throw on some shredded cheese, a
sprinkle of chopped scallion, a squirt of lime, fold, and flip. You can
add leftover chicken or beans or any other vegetables if you have them.
Only takes a few minutes....

Or...


No frills salmon patties!

Can of salmon mashed with some bread, a dollop of dijon, and an egg - A big
can will make about four patties (make them on the thin side) and they
should only take about 4 minutes total to fry in a little oil.

You can preheat the pan and oil while you're opening the can, draining the
salmon, and picking out any bits that you don't want (I take out the round
spiney bones but leave the little straight ones in to mash)

You can eat the patties with tartar sauce, hot sauce, bbq sauce, mustard,
mayo, just about anything!


Five minutes isn't a lot of time. Maybe you can squeeze a few more minutes
out of your day at night or whenever, and make some stuff in advance to eat
during the week - even some pasta that you store in the fridge and then
heat up with olive oil and grated cheese, or make a pot of rice (20
minutes!) and then use it to make quick meals of rice and beans & cheese.
Or a meatloaf that you can slice and then eat either cold, or heated in the
microwave...

For me, five minutes to eat means grabbing something leftover, but that
system assumes there's something leftover to grab!

Miso Soup. All you need is hot water and miso paste.

If you want noodles, it takes a little longer.

In general, you can get good soup in about 10-15 minutes from broth
and all sorts of ingredients.

Turn the question sideways: what do you want to eat?

couscous
microwave burritos

but most of us would cook something (maybe in the evening when you get
home) that could be easily eaten in your 5 minutes. You can reheat
something in 2 minutes.

However, you could cook something ahead of time - maybe when you get
home later in the evening - that could be reheated and eaten during
your five minutes.

Assuming NOT usuing a nuker:
BLT-if you plan ahead.
Grilled cheese (w/tomatoe if you are adventureous)
Soup-if made ahead of time.
Salad-if you don't make your own dressing. Seven minutes if you do.
Fried eggs w/toast if you can make both at the same time.
Asstd veggies in a wok-again if you plan ahead.
Want more?

If you are willing to double the time, there is a book by Edouard de
Pomiane I recommend highly. It's called just that, 'Cooking in Ten
Minutes". I notice it's $8 on Amazon right now.

But if I wish to just cook in 5 minutes, will they halve the price?

Quick-cooking (not instant) oatmeal in a microwave. Add whatever
sweeteners, seasonings, berries, seeds, etc., etc. you want. Total
time, maybe three minutes if you don't putz around too much with the
additives. Then you got two minutes to eat it. Ready ... Go!

(And, fwiw, I'll take the liberty of pointing out that you really should
have the same amount of time in a day that all the rest of us have. If
not, you should see your customer rep and get to the bottom of the
*real* problem. When you get a spare moment, of course.)

I suggest you devote more time to cooking unless you
want to live on scrambled eggs and toast. Food isn't
only to satisfy hunger, but to promote good health,
to socialize, to relax. Five minutes won't cut it
unless you LIKE McDonald's.
