If you’ve just gotten home from a long day at the office, then you probably don’t feel like slaving away in the kitchen. Fortunately, you don’t have to. Here are some quick and easy recipes that you can prepare using just your microwave.

Mac & Cheese

Place your macaroni in a large bowl and grate some cheese over it. Then, pour a generous amount of cooking liquid into the mix. Place some cling wrap over the bowl and poke holes in it before placing it in the microwave. Continue to microwave the bowl until the pasta is cooked.

Cauliflower Cheese

Cut one large cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Place the pieces in a microwave-friendly bowl and add 150 grams of cheddar cheese. Drizzle it with some hot English mustard, whole milk, and thyme leaves before microwaving for eight minutes.

Scrambled Eggs

Crack two eggs and use a fork to mix them. Add two tablespoons of milk before sprinkling some salt over the mixture. Warm the eggs in the microwave for 30 seconds before removing them, beating them again, and warming them further. Once ready, put them on some toast.

Time is not always a luxury that one has when it comes to cooking. Sometimes, it’s all about scoffing down something before leaving the house; or making a quick dinner, with the emphasis on “quick”. Enter, the microwave!

This fish dish relies on fresh Asian flavors, with the microwave ensuring that it is steamed speedily. The result is delicately flakey fish that is ready in minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½-inch section of ginger
• 2-3 medium green onions
• 1 handful fresh shiitake mushrooms
• 1 handful of fresh coriander
• 1 pound of fish filet
• Sea salt
• 1 tablespoon of rice wine or dry sherry
• 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons of water

Instructions:

  1. Peel the ginger and thinly slice it into fine strips. Trim the green onions and cut them, too, into thin strips, as well as the mushrooms.
  2. Season the fish and set aside. Place the green onions in a dish that can be microwaved, and put the fish on top. Pour on the rice wine and soy sauce, before adding the mushrooms. Pour on the water. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes. Check doneness after 3 minutes by pushing the tip of a knife into the flesh. If there’s no resistance, you’re done. If not, microwave for 30 to 60 seconds longer.
  3. Serve with fresh coriander.
