Hi, guys... it's me again. I am happy that I have time to share another menu idea for the lunch box. Like always, it's easy cooking yet tasty. Let's check it out! 😉

Ingredient:
  • 50 - 60 gram of couscous - I use Tesco couscous
  • 1/2 of chicken stock
  • 170 ml of water
  • 1 - 2 gram of coriander leaf - I use Tesco coriander leaf
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • pinch of salt
  • 1-2 gram of garlic powder
  • 1 - 2 gram of onion powder
  • 1 gram of black pepper powder
  • 100 ml of water
  • 2 egg - I use low cholesterol egg
  • cherry tomatoes
  • Some of cabbage
  • 1/2 carrot - cut it
  • Some broccoli
  • Kale - cut it
  • Butter
These are what you do:
  • Bring boil 170 ml of water and add chicken stock
  • Pour the boiling water into couscous - Let's the water absorb then add coriander leaf and mix it
  • Add butter and garlic in a pan. Turn on the stove on medium-low flame. Saute about 3 minutes
  • Add all of the vegetables, then add salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper powder. Mix them well
  • Pour 100 ml of water. Mix them well then let it cook about 3-5 minutes. Take aside
  • While you are cooking stir fry vegetables you can boil the egg for about 25 minutes (or 45 minutes)
Prepare the lunch box:
  • Place the couscous first. Add cherry tomatoes on it
  • Place the boiled egg, cut in half
  • Place stir fry vegetables
  • Bring fruit to complete the lunch box

What do you think? It looks good, huh? Thank you so much and see you in another article! Stay safe, and we will get through the coronavirus situation together. Please do not panic buying, grab or buy what you need (1 or 2 for extra it's ok but don't buy bulk) because you have to think about other people too.  Instead, we have to help others, because we are strong together. There is a light after the storm 🙏😊
