Stir-Fry

I felt like rambling about my favourite easy-to-prepare meal for one person: my one-pan stir-fry. It isn't so much a recipe as a template, where things can be substituted. It makes enough for 2-3 meals for one person. Not because I always want to cook in bulk, but basically because predefined packet sizes lead towards that amount of food. This is NOT a "from scratch" stir-fry. Doing that is just not worthwhile for a single person. This has a number of short-cuts in it.

If you say "it is a waste of money to buy pre-prepared food", consider that in a single-person household,

• it is more wasteful to buy a half cabbage and throw half of it away
• the motivation to cook healthy food is much lower, so anything which helps that is good
• I'm creating jobs!

If you say "it is lazy to buy pre-prepared food", then I invite you stop being a hypocrite, quit your job, take up farming, and harvest your own damn cabbages.
