1. Savoury: Couscous

  • 300 ml water
  • 150 g couscous
  • Vegetable stock, 1 cube
  • Tomato puree to taste (optional)

3. Savoury: Mie Goreng

Preparing Mie Goreng is another way of saving fuel when you’re cooking – the noodles only need to stand for a few minutes in hot water instead of boiling away for ages. You can use the following simple basic recipe wherever you are, or you can adapt it according to the season and your own taste:

Ingredients (for one portion):

  • 400 ml water
  • 1 pack mie goreng noodles
  • Powdered cream soup, e.g. mushroom, tomato and mozzarella, broccoli
  • 1 spring onion
  • A handful of fresh vegetables, e.g. mushrooms, tomato, broccoli (optional)
  • Seasoning: salt, pepper

4. Savoury: mashed potatoes

Apart from couscous and Mie Goreng, mashed potatoes also make an ideal fast meal when you’re out. The powder only needs to be soaked, not boiled and it thus provides you with energy and saves energy on cooking at the same time. You can also pep up the flavour by adding your favourite fresh vegetables.

Ingredients (for one portion):

  • 500 ml water
  • 1 pack of instant mashed potatoes
  • 1 spring onion, dried tomatoes, rocket

5. Sweet: porridge with fruits

Classic instant porridge is ideal for providing plenty of carbs in the morning. But it’s also easy to prepare at lunchtime, if you prefer something sweeter. Just pour water on it and add your favourite fruit to pep it up:

Ingredients (for one portion):

  • 250ml water
  • Approx. 10 tbsp instant porridge, depending on the thickness required
  • Seasonal fruit, such as 1 banana, 1 apple
