Q: What's the one dish you cook at home over, and over, and over again?
If I put some effort into it I can cook quite a few dishes...but that only rarely happens. Most of the time I hate 'wasting' time cooking something semi-elaborate if I know I'm going to devour it in 5 minutes.
So... I usually have one or two easy dishes that I can prepare in10-15 minutes tops.
What are your go-to dishes when you have to cook for yourself?
Kraft Mac and Cheese
Great, easy comfort food when I need some western flavor
Anytime I make a trip back to the US, half my luggage is the Kraft.
broccoli and chicken stir fry is my go to chinese style dish, and roast chicken with mashed potatoes for when Im wanting some home cookin'
steamed chicken w/chinese mushroom,..simple n less cleaning up afterwards
Orange crispy beef stir fry, which is a good cut of meat with no bones! Easy to cook with the tools that I have, and just a little bit of a different taste from the local fare. I usually cook it with onion, brocolli, and red bell pepper.

Do you use juice and zest from an orange for the sauce? What else? If you don't mind me asking. I love orange beef or chicken.

Here's a recipie I've used before. You can convert to metric, and also change the number of people. The only thing I couldn't find here was the orange juice concentrate, so I used fresh squeezed orange juice, which did the trick, and then cut up some of the peel for the zest.
Since it is stir-fry, it went over pretty good when I've cooked it for local folks. Also, they really liked the "no bone" part. Enjoy!

Chicken breast and veggies with a little olive oil and lime juice. Sometimes I add a splash of soy. When I'm feelin... friskeh I switch it up and use a white fish instead.
Irish stew..........I slap on a few tunes and I'm in another world. Which in itself is a good thing!
I always have chicken breast in the fridge and just roast it with some vege's.
Pork chop and steamed vegies. All readily available, and easy to do. Vegies are preferably potato, sweet potato, brocolli and cauliflower. (NB: potato includes heaps of butter 
)
Chinese food-wise, I do a tomato and egg fairly regularly for breakfast.
A nice slow cooked chicken stew with loads of herbs and vegetables. Oh, how I missed herbs before I found where I could get them.
