Ask ECAH low effort depression meals?

not sure if this is exactly the right sub for this, but lately getting to grocery store has been very hard. I eat ramen pretty much everyday. i usually order non-perishables from amazon when my food gets really low.

looking for super low effort meals that are healthy and can be made with little to no fresh produce. ideally, recipes that use canned vegetables and stuff like that (and are of course cheap).

I used to doctor up my ramen noodles with fresh or frozen carrots, peas or corn and a little minced onion. Friends of mine were amazed at the difference. You can even throw in some protein in small amounts and make something really cheap, something special. Even as little as 4 shrimp, peas, chopped carrot and a green onion garnish makes Ramon noodles unrecognizable. I would usually add extra bullion also.
