10 Vegan Meals You Can Make in a Tour Bus

The Roadie8 min readROADIE APPROVED

A tour bus kitchen is a rumor circulated by people who have not tried to boil water while the coach is moving.

Assume: microwave, hot water, a knife, and a roommate who hates smells.

The rules

  • One bowl if possible
  • Cleanup under two minutes
  • Protein in every plate
  • No recipes that start with "first, caramelize"

The ten

  1. Microwave rice + canned beans + salsa + hot sauce
  2. Instant oats + peanut butter + banana
  3. Tortilla + hummus + spinach + leftover tofu
  4. Ramen (skip the animal packet) + extra tofu + chili oil
  5. Frozen veggie mix + soy sauce + sesame seeds
  6. Pasta cooked in the kettle, dumped into marinara
  7. Chickpea salad: can, mustard, pickle relish, salt
  8. Breakfast burrito: potatoes, beans, salsa, wrap
  9. PB pretzel situation when everything else has failed
  10. Grocery sushi only if the date isn't lying

Smell diplomacy

Garlic is worth it. Fish sauce is not. If you cook onions at midnight you will make enemies you cannot afford.

Keep a roll of paper towels like it is a religious object.
