I don't come onto the OS board very often but I thought this might be the best board for advice - please move if I'm wrong. I'm an English teacher in rural, and we're talking very rural China.

I assume if you can get chicken you can also get eggs which are quick to cook. Most vegetables can be chopped up and microwaved with a hint of water or wok fried until they seem soft enough to eat. Anything that looks like a root is likely to be more stodgy than the leafy stuff.

I am not one for recipes: start with food, add heat until it seems edible, taste and decide if it is a success and how I will do it differently next time!
