6.Vegetable Stew
As the name suggests, this stew is an easy way to get rid of hearty vegetables in your fridge. Made with simple ingredients with bold flavors, this stew becomes one of the easiest meals to create with a minimal amount of hassle, such as cutting up the vegetables which you could potentially skip, if you use frozen ones! The additives that I use in this dish are soy sauce, chilli sauce, lemon juice and a couple teaspoons of cornflour (or regular flour if you don’t have the other) to thicken up the stew. This most definitely feels like a healthy meal. Click here to make your own bowl.
7. Lentils
Another relatively healthy meal that can be prepped in a rice cooker would be protein-packed lentils. With the majority of the time focused on letting the lentils cook, this might be a dish that requires a little more time. One of the ways to reduce the cooking time for the lentils would be to let them soak overnight or for at least eight hours. I’ve made this dish so many times that this might be my all-time favorite, for it’s got a richness of flavor, spice and texture. This can be eaten as is, or with rice.

It’s healthy, flavorful and literally made in one pot! Here’s the recipe for it!
