For those who are college bound in the fall, looking for something easy to cook up in a dorm room, I’ve got some dorm room recipe inspiration for you. Both of these recipes have flexibility and you can add your own creative twist to them. Change up the veggies, spices, sauces, go crazy! But, the same principals apply when it comes to making these microwave meals.

Microwave Egg Sandwich

Join me on campus with my friend Aziz as we make up these Microwave Egg Sandwiches and struggle with the eternal debate of calling it a dorm or a residence hall:

Not bad for 90 seconds in the microwave, eh?

These are not only good for hungry college students, but a great option for busy people in general. Of course, it’s important to know your own microwave and perfect the timing on these. I find that 90 seconds on high works in general for most microwaves. Mostly, you’re looking for it to be completely cooked through, no longer runny. But, try not to over-cook it as that will turn it into a rubbery disk.

Need a dinner idea, too? This one’s great because you can prep everything at the beginning of the week and toss in the liquid ingredients when you’re ready to eat before microwaving. It’s a time saver and if you make it with vegetable bouillon, it’s 100% vegan!

Microwave Coconut Curry

Just like the sandwich recipe, this one is open to interpretation. Use whatever spices, veggies and other add-ins that make you happy. No limits to the possible combinations you can make in a mason jar. Just be sure the mason jar is the microwave safe kind. They do have decorative ones not intended to be nuked.
