Seven ingredients. Feeds three. Under nine dollars. Under ten minutes.

Boil three packs of udon two minutes and save a cup of the water. In the pot: three tablespoons white miso, three of butter, two grated garlic cloves, a splash of soy. Whisk the noodle water in until it goes glossy. Fold the spinach through, return the noodles, crown each bowl with a soft egg.

The starch in that saved water is the whole trick — it's what turns miso and butter into a sauce instead of a puddle. Nobody sold you that. A cook figured it out and told somebody.

What's the cheapest thing in your rotation that nobody would guess was cheap?

Eight dollars. Feeds four. Under ten minutes.

One head of green cabbage, cut through the core into inch-thick slabs so they hold together. Hot skillet, thin film of oil, slabs down, and then you don't touch them for four minutes. That's the whole discipline. Flip, knob of butter, two smashed garlic cloves, splash of soy, crack of pepper, spoon it over, lid on for three. Rice under it or torn bread to drag through the pan.

Char it hard. Black edges are the entire point.

Cabbage has been the vegetable of every hard winter in recorded history and it has never once been fashionable, which is exactly why it's still ninety cents a pound.

What does your kitchen do when the week gets thin?

Feeds three. About seven dollars. Ten minutes, one pan, no boiling water at all.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium. Gnocchi straight from the package — shelf-stable, two dollars — and then leave it alone for four minutes until the bottoms blister gold. Toss. Two minutes more. Garlic, then a handful of frozen peas straight from the bag. Lemon off the heat, pepper, whatever hard cheese you've got.

Seven ingredients. The browning does everything a sauce would otherwise have to do.

Nobody should end a week like this one standing in front of an open refrigerator deciding they're not hungry enough to bother.

What's your ten-minute pan when the day has taken everything?
