How to choose the best option
For the fastest dinner, choose the idea that uses the fewest extra ingredients and the cooking method you already trust. If one ingredient is already cooked, build around reheating it gently while adding freshness, acid, or crunch at the end.
Common mistake: Check lentil type; red lentils soften faster than green or brown lentils.
