QUICK EGG AND VEGGIE FRIED RICE

Everyone needs a fried rice recipe in his or her repertoire, because it's great for using up leftovers. When you don't have any meat in the fridge or freezer, you'll likely have eggs on hand to turn what's normally a side dish into this complete meal.

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE EGG DROP SOUP

This easy, quick meal is somehow light-tasting and satisfying both at once. The trick to getting the soup's signature look is to beat the eggs well and drizzle them into the hot soup very slowly in a thin, steady stream as you stir.

TOMATO AND GARLIC STEAMED MUSSELS

Homemade tomato sauce takes time to develop flavour, so it's smart to use prepared sauce on weeknights. To check your mussels for freshness, tap the shells to make sure they close, and discard any that don't. Once cooked, the shells should open; discard any that remain closed. Serve with a crusty baguette for soaking up the fragrant broth.

CREAMY HERBED RISOTTO WITH SHRIMP

Keeping shrimp and peas in the freezer, and fresh herbed soft cheese in the fridge means you can whip up this easy weeknight dinner at a moment's notice. Serve topped with chopped fresh parsley or basil for a little burst of green, if you like.
