Skip the Microwave and Make a Delicious Hot Water Lunch
The most frustrating part of lunch at work is the microwave. If you missed the time, there is always a queue, and it usually smells strongly of popcorn. I’m here to tell you that you don’t need this microwave in your life; you can prepare delicious and quick meals using hot water.
Bon Appetit has brought together many ways to make your company’s hot water dispenser work, including reheating rice, making nice noodle bowls, and whipping miso soup with miso soup, but my favorite tip is their tip for warming a soft-boiled egg.
Cook the egg as usual, then submerge it in ice water to stop cooking. When it’s time for lunch, fill a mug with hot water and gently place an egg in it for thirty seconds. Your soft-boiled egg is now warmed up again and is ready to sit on the throne of salad, rice, or cereals (whichever you packaged that day). It’s so simple, I’m ashamed that I didn’t think about it myself.
Check out their post below for a complete list of ideas.
