    A pork soup that is basically meat chunks pressure cooked to make them very soft, then seasoned with garlic, black pepper, and onions. Then fish sauce for flavor. Lastly, add cabbage. It’s great for cold weather.

      Do you fry the eggs separately and then put it in the boiled ramen?

        Yes. When I want the lowest effort version, I do just crack an egg straight in to soft poach along with the cooking noodles, but I prefer the texture of fried.

          Yeah I usually do the low effort version, too. But sometimes (rarely) if I have the energy I also fry the noodles after a quick boil and it’s nice and crunchy

    Courgette, tofu and onions. I don’t remember the sauce but probably oyster sauce.

    My favorite stew called African ground nut stew. I make it a few times a month. It takes about 30 mins in the pressure cooker.

    It is a chicken stew with peanut butter and hot sauce.

    If anyone wants the recipe I will add it.

        African Ground Nut Stew

        8-10 chicken thigh

        Large can of diced tomato

        Small can of tomato paste

        1 large onion

        2 medium carrot

        2 stalks celery

        8-12 mushrooms or 2 cans of sliced mushroom

        1 or 1.5 cup chicken stock (I add garlic stock in as well)

        2.5 tbsp peanut butter(I like more PB so I double this)

        Hot sauce optional

        3 clove garlic

        instructions:

        prep:

        dice the onion

        peel and chop the carrot/celery

        Clean and slice mushrooms

        mince garlic or one small spoon worth of pre minced

        cut chicken into small pieces to quickly cook or cut thigh in two or breast into three if you want bigger chunks

        cooking:

        put olive oil in large fry pan on high

        add onion,carrot, and mushroom cook until onion is getting soft

        then add chicken and garlic keep everything moving around so the onion and mushrooms don’t burn

        when the chicken is half cooked (white on the outside 50% or so) then add both cans of tomatoes (paste and diced) and stock

        let simmer for 20-25 mins so the tomatoes break down and chicken finishes cooking, stirring every few minutes

        add peanut butter in 1/2 tbsp at a time to the pan and mix in with the liquids

        add salt and pepper approx for 2 more minutes making sure not to let the sauce burn on the bottom

        Add hot sauce to taste. (My favorite for this recipe is Nando’s garlic hot sauce.)

        serve over rice

        If you are doing this recipe in a pressure cooker then just throw everything except the peanut butter and hot sauce in on high pressure for 20-25 mins, once pressure is released then add the peanut butter and hot sauce.

        I prep everything frozen so I cook it for 28 mins on high since the stuff has to defrost first.

        The original recipe from a cookbook my mom got when I was a baby. I think I have improved it over the years.

    Jambalaya.

    So to my self-taught-chef mind, “comfort food” basically means carbs. Rice, pasta, bread, etc. Comfort food is something that tastes good and weighs you down so you can get comfortable in front of the TV.

    I generally avoid carbs, so something with carbs has to be really good. And for me, Jambalaya is it. I use chicken and sausage, since I’m allergic to shrimp. I don’t use okra since I don’t care for it. So maybe someone raised on it would not like mine, but I like mine, and my wife likes mine, so that’s all that matters. Also used to bring it into work (make like 4x the recipe) and everyone there loved it, too.
