1. Sweet and sour pork ribs
When it comes to delicious, nutritious and quick dishes to enjoy at lunchtime, you cannot leave out sweet and sour pork ribs. Here is how to prepare this dish:
Step 1: Clean the ribs by blanching them in boiling water
Step 2: Make the sauce. The sauce ingredients are: 5 spoons of sugar, 5 spoons of vinegar, garlic, 6 spoons of water, fish sauce and chilli (if you like it spicy). If you have no vinegar at home, you can use tamarind juice instead. Put it on the stove and simmer over low heat until the sauce turns dark golden and thickens.
Step 3: Fry the ribs in cooking oil until golden, and at the same time finely chop shallots and fry them in another pan.
Step 4: After frying the ribs, add them to the hot caramel sauce mixture and stir well. Keep cooking the sauce until the mixture thickens, then turn off the heat.
And so the sweet and sour pork ribs are done. With the sweet-and-sour taste of the caramel sauce combined with tender, richly flavoured ribs, this dish deserves a place on the menu of delicious dishes office workers should enjoy at lunch.

4: Pork rib soup with pickled mustard greens
Prepare 200 grams of pork spare ribs, 200 grams of pickled mustard greens, 1 tomato, 50 grams of fresh herbs, 10 grams of ready-fried garlic and some basic cooking seasonings.
Wash the pork ribs and marinate them with seasoning powder, pepper and chopped shallots until absorbed. Then lightly fry them in a little cooking oil until the ribs are golden. Add about 300 ml of water to the pot and bring to the boil.
Next, add the pickled mustard greens to the pot and cook for about 2 more minutes. Add the tomato cut into wedges and bring the pot of ribs and pickled greens back to the boil.
Adjust the seasoning with seasoning powder, fish sauce and a little sugar to taste. Add a few chopped fresh herbs, turn off the heat and add a little more fried garlic to finish.
This spare rib and pickled mustard green soup has a light, well-rounded flavour, with tender, sweet ribs, and is perfect for hot, muggy lunchtimes.
Note: If you use mustard greens that have been pickled for a long time, rinse them with water and squeeze them thoroughly so the soup is not too sour. It is best to stir-fry the ribs with seasonings before cooking so they are richer and more flavourful. This dish serves as both the savoury dish and the soup, so you do not need to prepare extra vegetables.

5: Fresh spring rolls with shrimp and pork
Boil 200 ml of water with two bruised lemongrass stalks. When the water boils, add the washed shrimp and blanch for about 2 minutes until just cooked, then remove. Peel the shrimp, cut them in half and place on a plate.
Boil another pot of water and cook the pork belly until done. Let the meat cool, then remove and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Moisten the rice paper and start making the rolls. Add your favourite herbs, shrimp, pork and just enough fresh rice vermicelli in turn, then roll up tightly.
Depending on your appetite, make a moderate number of rolls, enough for lunch.

6: Sour soup with minced pork
With minced pork, tomatoes, coriander and seasonings, sour soup with minced pork can be prepared in no time. This is definitely a dish suited to busy office workers.
Here is how to make this soup: first, cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Wash the minced pork, coriander and spring onions to ensure food safety and hygiene.
Next, stir-fry the shallots and pork until the meat firms up. Then add the tomatoes and stir until half cooked, then add water and bring to the boil. Season to taste and finally add the coriander to the pot to bring out the aroma.
7: Pan-roasted chicken with lime leaves
Chicken and lime leaves are a perfect pair for the palate; besides boiled chicken and chicken steamed with lime leaves, pan-roasted chicken with lime leaves is also an extremely delicious dish you should not miss. Making this chicken dish is also extremely simple and quick. Let's go through these simple steps with STAVI:
After buying the chicken, pluck out any fine feathers still on the skin, then wash the chicken thoroughly with diluted salt water.
Then rub a little wheat flour over the chicken to remove all dirt and odours, and rinse it with cold water twice more.
Once the chicken is clean, chop it into bite-sized pieces and pour boiling water over it to blanch it briefly, and that's it.
Marinate the chicken with 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 tablespoon of sugar, 1/3 tablespoon of MSG and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce.
Mix well so the seasonings coat all the chicken and leave to marinate for about 10 minutes so the chicken absorbs the flavours.
Put 5 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan, wait for the oil to heat up, then add chopped shallots and fry until fragrant. Then add the chicken and fry over medium heat until the meat firms up and the outside is slightly golden, then add shredded ginger and chilli and stir well.
Next, cover the pan and let the chicken roast for another 5 - 7 minutes until golden and crispy, then add shredded lime leaves and stir quickly for about 1 - 2 minutes, and it is done.
