Vegetarian food is easier than non-veg. Just make food, and don't put any meat in it. Easiest is probably either pasta with sauce of some sort or a stir fry, if you have a wok.

a stir fry, if you have a wok.

Stir fry might be better with a wok, but I've made a ton of delicious stir fry-likes in a generic frying pan. Also, vegetarian stir fries are definitely delicious.

Ah, yes, of course you can make a stir-fry in a regular pan. I just meant that to make something easy, woks are faster. Otherwise, pasta might be easier.

As for me, I made buttered rice noodles
Okay legitimate question here, how do you even cook those.

Last time I tried the surface of the noodles just sloughed off into mush as they cooked, leaving no middle ground between the thickening congee and the uncooked pasta cores that remained.

“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”

That is certainly not a thing I would ever have tried. Thank you! I'll make this happen :I

Salad, dude.
Fuck you.
Seriously.
Same thing goes for everyone else who suggested salad. It's not food a meal! It's an entree at best. Really, the only decent culinary use of salad is feeding rabbits. For their meat. Even if you have to sell that meat to buy vegetarian food.

I'd suggest something lentil-based. Lentil soup, for example, is very simple, but as tasty as few other meals. Serve with bread, or put some rice in to get some carbohydrates.
Spaghetti with some sort of sauce (tomato, mushrooms, other shrooms ;) ) work well to. If you want to be real fancy, there are some very good recipes for vegetarian lasagna. French recipes! With pistachios!

Salad =\= Lettuce, please calm down and get back in your seat. Pasta salad, for example. Or the couscous salad, I'd never add lettuce or any leafy greens to that. Also, if you are making a salad, baby spinach is the superior leafy green.

Salad is a marvelous excuse to eat salad dressing, is what I always say about it. But the fact is you get some spinach and maybe some mustard leaves together, they make a pretty damn tasty base for cheese and stuff. You're pretty much good as long as you stay away from iceberg lettuce, really.

Okay, that's better. Still not a proper meal, but a step in the right direction.

I don't normally eat Mexican food, but when I do, it's fucking awful.

Which is why when I had some last night I was blown away at how delicious it was.

Exactly. Eating salad without anything is like eating a bread sandwich.

It's really good! I put much more herbiage in than I was supposed to, because that's the way I like it, and it's honestly pretty delicious. You can also use it as an omelette filling, and I think I might add it to my sauce next time I make spaghetti, if I've gotten sick of it.
