- Panfried chicken in sesame oil at medium heat for around 30 minutes, when almost done, put in pre-cooked sushi rice, and bean sprouts. Carrots thinly sliced and soaked in vinegar goes well with this. If you don't have bean sprout, stir fry some cabbages and carrots.
- Microwave broccoli with a little butter or margarine, add a little hot sauce.
Nappa Cabbage with kimchi and instant ramen, or even pasta. If using instant ramen, can be cooked with microwave, put ramen in bowl, pour water till it's just above noodles, put individual nappa cabage leaves on top, microwave for around 7 to 10 minues, add kimchi before or after. If boiling ramen, boil cabbage first. If using pasta, boil pasta then add nappa cabbage. Could use garlic powder and hot sauce in place of kimchi.
- Rice Pilaf - boil rice in chicken broth, add thinly sliced carrots, sliced green onions.
Eat tinned fish, use the water for broth, use the oil to fry eggs and/or udon.
Chinese supermarket tends to have cheaper vegetable greens, they tend to sell greens that needs to be cooked.
Spices in bags are cheaper. If you are in Canada, Dollarama sells Paprika, Red Pepper Flakes, Onion Powder and Garlic Salt for $1.25 per 77g. Green onions grows easily in small narrow containers, I have some on my windowsill growing out of the bottom half of a small lysol container. Onions are cheap and healthy, but they can make you gassy.
Bananas is probably the cheapest greens during the winter - eat them while they are still firm so it's not too sweet, and you stay full longer. I chop them into small pieces and eat with a sprinkle of lime juice (those lime and lemon shaped container of pre-squeezed juices) and apple juice.
