With everyone trying to save money and cutting back in dining out these days, Taiwan Fun is sharing with its reader two of the most popular "home meals", which are not only easy to make but also take only about 10 minutes to prepare.

Nutritious Rice Congee
This very filling, tasty dish is made with rich cheese, along with plain rice congee and a can of tuna.

Ingredients: 1 pack of VONO Cheese Chowder Soup (NT$55), 1 can of tuna, white rice.
Steps:
1. Place the white rice into a pot and add hot water, bring the contents to boil, so that it becomes plain rice congee.
2. Pour the cheese chowder soup into a cup, add hot water and stir for 15 seconds.
3. Pour the rice congee into a bowl and stir it into the soup.
4. Take some tuna out of the can and put it into the hot water that you used to cook the rice congee. This is to remove the excess grease from the tuna.
5. Take the tuna chunks out of the pot, put them into the soup mixture and you're done!

Tasty Homemade Noodles
Buy the Bacon & Potato Soup from VONO, a Japanese instant soup brand that you can find at your nearest supermarket. This mixture includes basic ingredients like cheese and onions. Make sure to add in some broccoli and noodles to make this a healthy, filling meal.

Ingredients: VONO Bacon & Potato Soup (NT$65/box), a pack of plain instant noodles, broccoli.
Steps:
1. Add water into a pot and bring the broccoli to boil (this will take about 1 minute), before removing the broccoli from the pot.
2. Pour the soup into a cup and add hot water. Stir for 15 seconds.
3. Pour the soup mixture onto the instant noodles and broccoli.
4. Enjoy!
