my default "i need to eat fairly soon but i also dont want to feel like a sack of shit immediately after but also i dont have a lot of money so it has to be only a few bucks of food" is the following:
- make some white or brown rice while doing the rest of this (google it if u dont know how)
- lightly fry some fresh green beans and strips of red bell pepper in a pan with some olive oil and a pinch of salt. remove and put on plate to the side when hot but still fairly hard
- in the same pan, fry however much chicken loin (cut halfway in half to make thinner) you want, probably on like medium high for a few minutes on each side. put a little salt and pepper on the chicken while it cooks
- take out chicken and put with veggies on plate
- make sauce in same pan taken off the heat, with roughly 2 parts hoisin sauce to one part sweet chili sauce w/ a small amount of soy sauce. add some brown sugar if you want it sweeter. add in pepper flakes if you want it spicier. warm until it gets a little bit gooey
- shred chicken then throw all the stuff from the plate back in the pan, and put pan back on heat. stir until everything is super hot again
- plate with rice on bottom, chicken veggie sauce stuff on top
takes like 20 minutes total (length of time to cook the rice) after you do it a couple times and is super good tasting, with the ability to change from something really sweet to pretty spicy, depending on how you're feeling
