Stirfry: Oil in pan, add meat (E.g. chicken), stir, add vegetables (most supermarkets do premade mixes), continue stirring. You can add your preferred flavourings during the course of this (e.g. bbq sauce, chili, soy). Most things cook quickly like this, especially when in small pieces, and you can normally tell by sight when its ready. Eat either on its own or with rice.

This. There are infinite possible variations you can try with various veggies and cooking styles, you can make it into a soup, and it's trivially easy to test the effects of ingredients. EG, I added kale to my stir fries and after three days realized I started having intestinal troubles and then cut it out and they went away. You can make these arbitrarily "healthy" and high quality with ingredient choice variations. EG, I tend to use reasonably fresh veggies from the co op grocery, grass fed beef stirfy mix from same (though now I've purchased a quarter cow so I'll be using that instead), and coconut oil. I often mix up by using a prepackaged seafood mix instead of the beef, but I never measure anything and the only prep I do is some cutting before I toss stuff into the wok.

95% of the time I do thai curry instead because it is easier. Half a can of coconut milk instead of oil and you can walk away instead of standing there stirring.
