I grew up having hot lunches every day, 365 days a year. Preparing hot lunch often took some time (in an Asian household). But since moving to the Netherlands, hot lunches have become a rarity and somehow I have come to appreciate the Dutch lunch culture for its convenience and practicality.
Apart from the lumpia/popiah/spring rolls, the rest of the meal is prepared in about 15 minutes! I made the lumpia/popiah/spring rolls a week before and kept them frozen. While making them from scratch took at least 40 minutes, it took less than 15 minutes to defrost, deep-fry, and have them ready for lunch. They’re best served warm, but I also enjoy them at room temperature.
Notice that my most of my quick lunches involved eggs? To me, eggs are a superior food. You can eat them with almost everything, and taste equally great warm or cold.
What’s your favorite quick lunch meal?
