10 MINUTE VEGAN LUNCH 🥗🥔🥦🥕🌈

As a busy student, I don’t really have a lot of time to prepare my food. Therefor I stick to quick simple meals which can still be just as nutritious and tasty. Here’s an example of what I eat on days like that: mashed potatoes (which took me 10 minutes to make!!), cooked vegetables and vegetable soy paddies. These paddies are not the healthiest food on the planet but they’re fine. If you wish you can always make your own.

I’m telling you guys, if you know a few simple hacks cooking becomes so much easier and faster. How long does it usually take you to make mashed potatoes? I just went on the google, typed in mashed potatoes and clicked on the first blog post I saw and the total time said 40 minutes! And while yeah, sure they might be super tasty but not everyone has this much time to make their food. On weekends when I have more time I would definitely take time to make them but on weekdays when I’m in a rush this super quick recipe comes in handy.

Here’s how I managed to make this meal in only 10 minutes:

I always start with the thing that takes the longest to cook. In this case, that were potatoes. So I started by peeling and chopping them into really small pieces. It’s important that the pieces are really small otherwise your potatoes will take longer to cook. I would say about 1 cm squares work fine. I while I was cutting the potatoes boiled some water so it was already boiling once I was done with chopping my potatoes. I then moved onto paddies. I made them in a pan since that’s how they are done the quickest. I took a pan, poured a splash of oil on it, put on the paddies, flipped a few times and viola 5 minutes later they were done. Last but not least, I took frozen vegetables and all I did was just boil them. Frozen vegetables really don’t take a long time to cook so just a few minutes and they’re done. Once the potatoes were cooked, I drained them and mashed with a fork. I then added a splash of soy milk, mixed around and served everything on a plate. I then also added some ketchup and hummus for extra flavours.
