Thread: Cooking for yourself as a single person

Jasmine rice is super easy to cook and is a great source for carbohydrates. It's also relatively cheap, about $15 for 20 pounds. You might include rice in most meals and focus your attention on the meat and vegetables.

What's great about rice is that sorta stale leftovers can be salvaged. Reuse 2-day-old rice by making fried rice or rice soup (both relatively easy).

Also birds love rice. Just saying.

Icky @ sushi.. When it comes to cooking for 1 I use to only buy for one as not to waste a lot of food. You can also try making bigger meals and freezing the leftovers in seperate 1 meal containers. This will also reduce your time in the kitchen.
