I'm looking for easy and cheap options for lunches on weekdays. I mostly eat deli sandwiches and hot dogs right now and I always feel like shit after eating them. I think I need something healthier but I don't have time over my lunch hour to cook anything too fancy. What do you all do for reliable healthy easy lunches?

If I'm at home, udon noodle soup: just vegetable stock cube in a pot of water, boil it, chuck the noodles in, chuck in whatever you want to put in the soup (I just chop up tofu and one vegetable of my choice), boil for a few mins, and it's done. Put Laoganma on to serve. Obviously use whatever other noodles you prefer if you have a preference other than udon. Takes like 15 mins total and it's so simple for something that's an actual full meal. I don't take it with me when I'm on the go though, as it's hard to carry a bowl of noodle soup with you.

For something you can take with you on the go, I've been making this vegan smoked tofu carbonara recipe lately. You'll still need a microwave to heat it up once it's lunchtime, unless you want to eat cold spaghetti for lunch, but it's really tasty, especially the tofu.

Udon broth is also available premade and is very quick and easy to make from scratch.
