as a humble lodger who lives alone and has a busy daily work, but has certain requirements on diet, I have put a lot of thought into catering.
If, like me, you don't want to always rely on take-out and familymart to solve the problem of food and clothing, and at the same time feel that it is a bit troublesome to cook every day, then what I do next may have certain reference significance for you.
at first, I will go home to cook dinner every night and prepare breakfast and lunch on the way the next day. Gradually, I feel that it is really not interesting to wash, cut and brush the pot every day. Especially when my boyfriend and I are in a long-distance relationship, the small kitchen where I live is too quiet, which always makes people feel a little lost.
Until I saw something called a frozen lunch box on the Internet.
it turns out that this kind of trouble is not just happening to me. Southerners like to eat rice, but for people who live alone, the amount of a pot of rice is too much to eat, so we must find a way to preserve it. Thanks to the development of electrical appliances, refrigerators and microwave ovens. At the same time, thanks to the development of modern materials, there are materials that can be frozen, heated, light and non-toxic.
So every Sunday, I will buy some dishes I like and cook several side dishes with different tastes. Each lunch box contains staple food and side dishes, which are cooled and put into the freezer. In this way, my breakfast and lunch for a week will be solved.
You only need to take out the lunch box you want to eat every day. You don't need to thaw it. After heating it in the microwave for 5 minutes, you can eat hot home cooking.
Some people may ask: Will eating like this for a long time have any impact on health?
I also looked around the Internet and gave a comprehensive answer as follows:

Next, I personally summed up the more suitable or inappropriate dishes after a period of practice.
Braised sauces are all suitable for freezing. The taste after full heating is not much different from that of fresh food. It can be pickled eggplant, braised chicken leg meat, braised chiba tofu and so on. All these dishes with a certain thick sauce are suitable for freezing, such as curry beef potatoes, and they are also very suitable.
leafy vegetables should be frozen selectively. Such as spinach, amaranth and water spinach, the color will not look good after freezing, which will naturally affect the appetite. Cabbage and Chinese cabbage are excellent "frozen players", and the taste and color after heating are not much different from those of fresh cooking. By the way, scrambled eggs with cabbage is a favorite side dish. Soft and tender cabbage with golden eggs looks good and delicious.
There is a side dish that I personally like, but I have to kick it off the frozen list-tender tofu. After the tofu is frozen, the water in it is frozen. When it is thawed again, you will find that the original tender tofu has become a layered state. In fact, this is frozen tofu. If you like the taste of frozen tofu, it doesn't matter.
in terms of staple food, besides rice, there are also rich choices. Such as potatoes, pumpkins and sweet potatoes. For these starch-rich foods, the taste after freezing and reheating has little effect.
if there are only meat and eggs, cheese slices and so on in the sandwich, the taste after thawing will not be too bad. But if you add vegetables, such as tomatoes and cucumbers. The moisture in the thawed vegetables will affect the taste of bread and make it soft. Personal feeling is: as long as you are hungry, everything is delicious. Here is a sauce that can instantly upgrade the taste of sandwiches: Sauerkraut Sauce with Pickled Cucumber < P > Everything is too late, so the frozen reserve should not be too large, and it should be eaten within one week.
when you are not so busy, call your good friends and enjoy the delicious food together!
