I’m getting really tired of my food expiring before I make anything with it, and I want to quit buying anything that can’t be frozen or last several months in the cupboard.

    1/2 cup rice

    1 cup water

    1-2 cups misc frozen veg and frozen cooked meat (e.g. sandwich ham)

    stock cube and/or spices

    Stick the water and frozen stuff in a pan and bring to the boil, stick the rice in and bring back to the boil with the lid on, boil for one minuite and turn the hob off/take off the heat and don’t move the lid. Don’t touch it for fifteen minuites. Fluff and serve

      You can replace the rice with 1 cup of couscous, but you need more spices as it’s rather bland otherwise

        Thankfully most spices are shelf stable so as long as you find some spices you like you’re also good for years. I personally couldn’t live without cumin or garlic powder.

          They will go stale and lose potency, but yeah they’re not gonna go mouldy or anything for the most part
