Also carbonara, or pasta in general (cacio e pepe or amatriciana are all ez to make)

Plus this dish which used to be the ''signature classic Egyptian dish'' of a small restaurant I worked at as a teenager which is basically

>take a large frying pan, preferably thicc like carbon steel or cast iron if that's your thing. Also start cooking rice
>fry a large, rough cut onion in a generous (and I mean generous) amount of oil (preferably sunflower) until glassy, add 2 pressed garlic cloves
>Add a red and a green bell pepper (cut into half strips) and two handfuls of sliced mushrooms
>Add a fuckload (like 2-3 tablespoons) of paprika powder, stir everything until coated with now red oil, add pepper, salt and maybe other spices if you like them, but this is the base recipe
>Add chicken, cut filets perpendicular to the length into pieces around 1cm thick
>Keep stirring, once the ingredients start to look a bit done make room somewhere in the pan so you have just the bottom and squirt a generous amount of ketchup in (you could also caramelise sugar and add a dollop of tomato paste, but this is quicker and easier) and let it caramelise a bit. Add tablespoon of sambal or some hot sauce and stir everything together again
>When done, serve with rice. There should be a generous pool of red oil on your plate because this has nothing to do with high cuisine

The whole process should take about 15min tops
