Affordable meals don\u2019t have to come at the expense of deliciousness. These five dishes feel rich, fresh and sustaining but won\u2019t break the bank.<\/p>\n

1. Shrimp Fried Rice<\/h4>\n

Inspired by the fire-kissed flavor of Japanese steakhouse and hibachi fare, especially at the Kani House restaurants in Georgia, this quick fried rice dish is a veritable comfort. Frying the shrimp first in oil, just until they\u2019re cooked, and reserving them to add back at the end means they stay tender. Plus, you\u2019re left with the most aromatic shrimp oil in which to fry the rice and vegetables. The shortcut of bagged frozen mixed vegetables comes in handy here, not least because they need only to be thawed by the skillet\u2019s high heat. The yum yum sauce, a mayo-ketchup dipping sauce that is ordinarily reserved for grilled hibachi meats, tastes fabulous splattered over the finished rice — not unlike how artist Jackson Pollock flung paint on canvas.<\/i><\/p>\n
