Make a deep-frozen pizza you like. After it's done, cut the pizza but only about halfway from the center towards the crust.
Put the pizza on a soup plate and pour 3-5 stirred eggs on it. Put it in the oven until the egg is done and you got a pizzacake.
Only downside is that you have to eat it from a still hot plate since it'll stick like glue.

I'm too lazy to cook for dinner so I'm usually getting some deep-frozen fastfood from the store.
Eating fastfood everyday makes it taste pretty boring (especially if you get pizza every day) so I'm trying to add some things to make it taste better.
What I'm looking for are simple ways to make common fast foods taste better without having to do much more than heating it up.
Anyone mind sharing some "recipes"? (I'd love one for the paella since I really like it, but deep-frozen ones taste mediocre at best)

Guacamole + Spoon.

There's this midnight-snack that my friends and I liked to make during our late-night study (cram-hardcore) sessions. It's a way to spice up instant noodles! Rather than having it in soup form, we have it in its pseudo-dried form.

I use .

Ingredients:
1 packaged MAMA instant noodles Tom Yum flavor
Sesame Oil
Oyster Sauce
Sriracha Chili Garlic Sauce (optional, but recommended)

Recipe for ONE instant noodle packet: (unfortunately, I eyeball everything... so it's really to your taste... add little by little because a liberal hand may KILL your dish.)

1. In a pot, bring water to a boil.
2. Add the oil/paste packet. (Keep the seasoning packet for later steps)
3. Add your dried noodles.
4. Cook for 3 minutes (or however cooked you like your noodles to be).
5. Strain your noodles. No need to rinse.

6. Put your noodles back into the pot you used to cook it.
7. Add sesame oil to prevent noodles from sticking (and add that lovely sesame scent). Don't over do the sesame oil or else you'll get grossed out by how oily it is. Think... it's like adding olive oil to pasta to prevent it from sticking. Stir/mix the oil and noodles around to even out the oil.
8. Add 1/3 to 1/2 of the seasoning packet to taste (DON'T use the whole packet... you'll find out that it's incredibly salty). Stir/mix the seasoning with the noodles to even out the flavor.
9. Add oyster sauce to your liking. Don't add too much because again... oyster sauce is very salty. Note: oyster sauce is different from hoisin sauce. Stir/mix the oyster sauce with your noodles until the taste is to your liking...
10. (Optional) - add however much garlic chili sriracha sauce you want. (yum! Though, be careful... it does get pretty spicy pretty quickly... I know... I've made my friends tear up because of my accidental liberal hand)

Enjoy!

I'm not much of a chef, but I buy already-chopped bell peppers and sprinkle some feta cheese on top, with a vinaigrette dressing. It's a really quick and simple (just put peppers in a bowl, add a little feta cheese and dressing, and stir for five seconds) but still tastes great

Simple Pasta - another favorite among my friends.

Ingredients:
angel hair pasta (aka "capellini")
olive oil
grated parmesan cheese
sea salt
dried oregano leaves
asparagus (whichever way you like: roasted, grilled, pan-seared, boiled, steamed, etc)
prosciutto crudo (optional)

1. Bring water to a boil in a pot.
2. Add pasta and cook to your liking.
3. In the meantime, you can cook your asparagus, whichever way you prefer.
3. Drain the pasta. No need to rinse since the olive oil you'll add later will prevent it from sticking.
4. Mix olive oil with your pasta. (You can always add more olive oil if you find it a bit dry.)
5. Add sea salt and parmesan cheese to your liking. Mix it up with your pasta.
6. Mix in the oregano... I'd say a liberal amount because I think that the smell is lovely, but it's up to you!
7. Add/mix in your cooked asparagus (cut in nice pieces for easy eating)!
8. (optional) Add/mix in the prosciutto (cut in nice slices for easy eating)!

Voila! Simple pasta.

That sounds very... fattening?

Instant noodles + egg + cayenne pepper. That's the best I can do.

I'll try those instant noodle thing tomorrow, thanks a lot.
As for the rest, I can cook if I got a recipe, but cooking itself is too much of a hassle...
The one with the feta cheese is not really an option for me, I want something warm in my stomach for dinner

another instant noodle recipe

boil the noodles till just separated drain
in another pan scramble eggs in butter seasoned with seasoning packet
add noodles
serve over chopped lettuce
yum

If you have left over rice....

You can heat chopped onions, bell peppers, garlic, and olive oil in a pan until the onion is translucent (see through).

Put that on top of the rice and add some meat product (can be anything really.. like tofu to bacon).
...this part is the "fast food" portion; so, you would want to find something that is quick to cook or heat up.


If you don't have left over rice, you can always make more then you need to save up for a few days, and it basically cooks itself. All you need is to have around 40 minutes.

I'll try to give you a few ideas...Some of them aren't fast food but some are some very quick recipes.

1. Scrambled eggs.
You can seriously scramble eggs in the microwave! Microwave the eggs on a soup plate until it's cooked, with a bit of moisture still left. Mash it with a fork. And with those scrambled eggs, you can toss them into sandwiches or toast or even simple fried rice. Eat it on it's own if you like!

2. Udon noodles and oyster sauce!
Get those pre-cooked udon noodle packets and pour hot water over them! After a few minutes, drain and serve with oyster sauce! Absolutely yummy and it's very quick! If you don't like oyster sauce, you can use another sauce you like.

3. French toast.
Another no brainer and a quickie. Beat two eggs, a quarter cup of milk and season with salt (and pepper. Stock powder is brilliant too!) and soak slices of bread for a few seconds in the mixture. Fry the bread in a frying pan. Makes two slices. Great idea for breakfast. Or eat it whenever.

4. Instant noodle stir fry!
Instead of your usual instant noodle, you soak the noodles in hot water first to cook them. Stir in a bit of sesame seed and toss into a frying pan. Add some seasoning and some veggies and meat that you have on you.

5. Curry!
Microwaveable rice. Instant curry mix. Throw in a bit of chicken or whatever meat you have. There you go. Curry fast food. So unhealthy though...I can give you a rather simple Japanese curry recipe that you can smother over pasta, rice or udon noodles and it tastes divine! Although you have to do a bit of cooking, you can make a huge batch and store it for the next day. Indian curry requires more prep work and ingredients so you won't be interested in that.

6. Pasta and sauce.
Just boil up some pasta and open up a can of pasta sauce. Simple. Add beef mince to that and you have simple bolognese. It seriously doesn't take much time at all.

7. Macaroni cheese.
This one takes a bit more effort but the reward is worthwhile! Melt in a few tablespoons of butter. As soon as it melts, stir in a tablespoon of flour. Till it turns into a thick paste, stir in the milk until you get the right sauce texture. Take it off the heat and stir in grated cheese (just buy them pre-grated if you're lazy). Stir in pasta you cooked in another pot in the sauce. There you go. That's the most basic macaroni cheese.

8. Hot dog
I'm serious. You can microwave a sausage (slitted so it won't explode) in the microwave. Take it out and stick in on some bread and smother it with sauce. Tastes nice....

9. Heat and eat food packets
Yeah. Name says it all. Just microwave and eat. Garnish or throw in some other tidbits for variety.

10. Pizzacake lasagna
Your egg pizza recipe gave me an idea. If you have a deep-ish bowl, just line the bowl with pizza. Mix in whatever veggies or meat or cheese etc into the egg mix and pour a thin layer over the pizza. Put more pizza on top of that and pour the egg mixture and layer till you're done. Microwave and tah dah! You got yourself a variety of pizzacake! It doesn't matter if it screws up because it's gonna end up in the same state in your stomach anyway.

11. Fast food shepherds pie
Line whatever tastes good under potato and sprinkle cheese and salt and pepper and bake it. This takes a bit of time though.

12. Another instant noodle recipe.
Cook your noodle and the soup packet separately. Drain noodles and stir in sesame oil. Mix it with whatever you have in your kitchen-veggies, onions, chilli, meat, sauce etc. Serve soup on the side.

13.Omelettes
...are tasty and easy to make! Mix in whatever you want your omelette to have and fry it in a frying pan! If you wanna go Japanese and make omurice, stuff the omelette with meat or veggies. Lay it over rice and smother with tomato sauce on top!

14. Pizza bread
Sometimes that boring pizza can taste good if you assemble it on bread instead.

15. Mousetraps!
So yummy but easy! Line canned spaghetti in tomato sauce over bread and sprinkle a good layer of cheese. Bake into oven. Voila! Baked beans work just as well.

Ummm.....it's not really fast food is it? Haha, that was expected of me. I don't do FAST fast food but I do like doing simple quick meal ideas. Btw, you know fast food ain't good for you either.
