Thanks for sharing this R+2 I often overcomplicate my meals and fret about what am I missing for ingredients- and as a university student I need simple yet nutritious!

For our household, it's furikake and sardines packed in soy sauce/miso (Nissui brand). Uninitiated friends are always blown away!

Chopped onion (red or white), chopped tomatoes, and a squeeze of lemon juice (R+3), okra & tinned diced tomatoes or passata. Plenty of salt with both.
