Meals for when you are very tired

[suzysiu]

I almost feel that this post is not suitable for wokthecasbah, but I will give it a go. I am interested in what others do for meals when you are very tired, whether that be friday night, or a weeknight when you get home late from work/ exercise. Like poached eggs with toast or cheese on toast. My mum used to cook a lot of pasta & sauce. My sister's

~ vegemite+cheese on toast.

~ jaffles are great, but I don't have a jafflemaker at the moment.

~ I used to have pasta+sauce a lot, but not as often anymore.

~ noodles with miso soup - can throw in some vegies or tofu while the noodles cook.

~ I keep meaning to make a big batch of soup that I can freeze and re-heat.

Ah yes freezing and reheating is great!

Miso soup sounds worth a try. What product do you buy? Is it instant soup or includes noodles?

Oh I don't know the brand name, but it's miso paste in a little box that I bought at an Asian grocery store. I think there are lots of types/brands.

I use various kinds of noodles, boil them up and then add the miso paste at the end so it makes a broth.

i back pen on the miso - just get the pastey sachets from your asian shop.

asian noodles are also really quick cooks - the clear bean noodles and japanese soba are 1 - 2 min cooks.

Silly me I actually had some miso in the cupboard that I bought from the co-op. I also had some mirin. But when I made this, I wasn't particularly happy with the taste. Not sure if I used too little miso or too much or..?
