1. A delicious office catering menu

• Menu 1: Fish sauce fried chicken, boiled vegetables, tomato and egg soup.

Making fish sauce fried chicken is extremely simple. You can easily remove any odor from the chicken wings with lightly salted water, then drain. Next, deep-fry the chicken and, once cooked, move on to the sauce (to taste, usually 1 part sugar to 1 part fish sauce). To make the dish even more appealing, fry shallots until fragrant, add the chicken wings and toss well, then pour in the sauce prepared earlier and simmer over low heat for a few minutes so the chicken absorbs the sauce.

In just a few simple steps, you have a plate of delicious fish sauce fried chicken for your daily meal.

2. A nutritious office catering menu

• Menu 2: Beef stir-fried with bell peppers, bread, pickled vegetables.

Your office lunch menu should not skip the rich, fragrant beef stir-fried with bell peppers. With a little time and a few simple steps, you can have a plate of delicious beef stir-fried with bell peppers.

First, wash the beef in warm water, add a little salt and soak the meat for about 3-5 minutes to draw out any impurities. Then drain the meat and slice it thinly into bite-sized pieces. For a richer flavor, marinate the beef beforehand with a little oyster sauce, seasoning powder, salt, MSG, crushed garlic to taste and a little cooking oil so the meat becomes tender and absorbs the seasoning (about 10 minutes).

Next, fry minced garlic and ginger until fragrant, add the marinated beef and stir-fry; when the meat is just seared, add the bell peppers and onion. Add a little pepper and spring onion to make the dish even more flavorful.

• Menu 3: Savory braised minced pork, water spinach stir-fried with garlic, water spinach soup

Savory braised minced pork, a common dish that goes down perfectly with rice, is another interesting choice you should not skip. The steps for making savory braised minced pork are: mince the meat with a knife rather than a grinder for better texture, then marinate it with seasonings such as oyster sauce, fish sauce, MSG and seasoning powder for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. Finally, fry shallots and spring onions, add the marinated minced pork to the pan and stir over medium heat until the meat firms up. This dish is perfect for mixing with plain white rice.

To make the meal easier to eat and more flavorful, stir-fry some water spinach with garlic to balance the taste and offset the dryness of the dish - crunchy water spinach, fragrant with fried garlic and richly seasoned.

And of course, no meal is complete without soup, right? But cooking a whole new pot of soup takes time, so let's make use of the water from boiling the water spinach: just add a little seasoning to taste and it is done.

4. A simple office catering menu

• Menu 4: Fish braised with pork belly, cabbage roll soup.

We recommend choosing snakehead fish, as it is the most suitable fish for this braised dish. Besides the fish, adding pork belly makes the braise far more delicious. As for the method, first prepare the fish by removing the innards and soaking it in a solution of salt water and vinegar for 5 minutes to remove any fishy smell. The pork belly is also washed in salt water and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Next, mix soy sauce with fish sauce and coconut water to make the caramel braising sauce for the fish. Then heat a pot, add garlic, chili and lemongrass and stir-fry briefly with the pork belly. When the meat firms up, layer the ingredients in the pot in this order: pork belly, fish and the braising sauce. Simmer over low heat until the fish flesh firms up. For a more refined result, you can braise the fish twice to make sure the flesh fully absorbs the seasoning.

As for the cabbage roll soup, it is cooked to an appealing aroma, with a broth sweetened by bones that is extremely tasty spooned over the meal. In addition, the cabbage rolls are pleasantly crisp on the outside, blending with the richly flavored, delicious meat filling.

5. An eye-catching office catering menu

• Menu 5: Sweet and sour pork ribs, greens stir-fried with shiitake mushrooms, kimchi soup.

For the sweet and sour ribs, blanch the ribs in boiling water to clean them. Next, make the caramel sauce. The seasonings for the sauce include: 5 spoons of sugar, 5 spoons of vinegar, garlic, half a small bowl of water, fish sauce and chili (if you like it spicy). If you do not have vinegar, you can use tamarind juice instead. Simmer over low heat until the sauce turns a deep red and thickens. Then fry the ribs in cooking oil while frying shallots in another pan. After frying the ribs, add them to the heated sauce mixture and toss well. Continue cooking the sauce until the mixture is thick, then turn off the heat. The sweet and sour ribs are now complete. With the sweet and sour taste of the sauce combined with tender, flavorful ribs, this dish deserves a place on the menu of delicious dishes to enjoy at office lunch.

Greens stir-fried with shiitake mushrooms is extremely simple. Soak the shiitake mushrooms in water until they expand. Prepare the greens by removing any damaged parts, washing them (salt water can be used) and draining. Fry minced garlic with 2 spoons of cooking oil. Then add the mushrooms and stir in the pan for 3 minutes. Finally, add the greens and stir-fry with the garlic and mushroom mixture. At this step, season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder and ½ teaspoon of MSG. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
