Simple Recipes For Quick WFH Lunch Fixes

As we adapt to the new normal, many of us become more accustomed to working remotely from home. Now that companies are increasingly looking towards a hybrid work model, working from home is a much more accepted practice.

However, many remote workers are more likely to work through their lunch breaks now that they are working from home. Some resort to eating instant noodles for their lunches since it is convenient and quick, albeit unhealthy. While an increase in productivity with this WFH arrangement is a good thing, it serves as a good reminder for us to eat proper meals and take proper care of our physical and mental wellbeing. If you’re struggling to find things to eat for lunch, here are some simple recipes for quick WFH lunch fixes that you can whip up at home! 

Before we get down to the recipes, here are some safety tips to keep in mind when cooking:

• Before you start cooking, open your windows and ventilate your kitchen area.
• Always store your LPG cylinder in an upright position and away from other flammable materials
• Never tamper with your gas cylinder
• Wipe your cooking pans and other utensils before placing them on the gas stove. By doing this, you’ll conserve a lot of cooking gas and lengthen the life of your gas cylinder.
• Keep your stove’s burner clean by checking the colour of your flame. Blue flames are good, while red, yellow, or orange flames indicate incomplete combustion, which means the gas in the lines is not being utilised to its full potential.
