UDON WITH PAN FRIED TOFU AND ASIAN GREENS
You don’t need to be vegan or vegetarian to enjoy this feel-good meal. It takes only 17 minutes to prep and cook.

POACHED EGG AVOCADO TOAST
This may look like a breakfast meal, but this can be had at any time of the day. The three ingredients can be found in your fridge and pantry; eggs, avocado, and bread. That’s it! The trick to having a good poached egg is adding a drop of vinegar to your eggs or the boiling water.
