Well damn.
How's rice?
If you don't have a rice cooker or the attention span to cook rice the usual way, you can actually just boil it for ~11 minutes then run it through a fine mesh strainer. It ends up rather different from sticky/fluffy preps, but it's still good.
I have a rice cooker, but won't eat rice on its own. I currently have the ingredients for Japanese curry, but I'm so intensely bored/miserable.
Oh, that's much better then. Try pickled vegetables (carrots, onions, peppers, kimchi, etc), a fried egg (sorry vegans), peanuts, furikake, or frozen vegetables (if you have a steamer tray and convince your roommates to give you some freezer room). Those all keep a long time where they're stored, so you can have some variety without planning.
My steamer tray disappeared! I know I have one but I lost it in the last 3 moves! My alternatives haven't been super successful :/
If you have a lidded pot, you can do the frozen vegetables on the stove just put a little oil and water in the pot, cover it so it don't splash you and let it rip for a minute or two.
That sucks!
The ones with the legs work in any rice cooker (that they fit in) though, and you can get them for less than $10 on Amazon.
I hold out hope that a mysterious flanged plate with holes in it will appear
Somebody turned it into a frisbee.
