for my beans on toast I throw in onion and jalapeno, to the pot, first with a bit of olive brine, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and then beans in once this has sauted - this makes the meal tastier and hardier - occassionally we do also throw in some vegan weiners instead for a quick dinner
my noodley soup is a collage of tasty broth (I use gochujang and miso) and then tons of frozen veggies (brussel sprouts, green and yellow beans and carrots and a Thai veggie mix), a mushroom or two, a green onion, tons of kale plus Soy Curls, garlic powder and then once it is in my bowl I add rice vinegar, dry mustard powder, lemon juice, soy sauce, turmeric/pepper, sriracha sauce and a drizzle of tahini - it seems like it might be a lot of work but it really isn't as most of the veggies are frozen and I just line up all the extra ingredients while it is cooking... oh yes, and noodles go in towards the end, on top, so that they end up on the bottom in my bowl (use a pasta bowl) - so one pot, one bowl and I have an extremely satisfying and nutritious meal - I buy the packs of Mr Noodles when they are on sale and throw away the flavour packet - they aren't the healthiest of noodles but it is easy and cheap (27 cents)
