• Lemon juice (1 tsp)

• Garlic (1 small clove, minced)

• Ginger (1 tsp, grated or minced)

• Rice wine vinegar (1 tbsp)

Noodles (Choose one)

• Vermicelli noodles (gluten-free option)

• Thin egg noodles (for a high protein option)

Protein

• Crumbled tofu (pressed and crumbled for a more “meaty” texture)

• Shredded roast chicken (great for leftovers)

Veggies (Choose any combination of the following)

• Mushrooms (sliced)

• Spring onion (sliced)

• Capsicum (julienned or sliced)

• Grated carrot

• Peas

• Edamame beans (frozen is fine)

• Kimchi (for a fermented kick)

• Baby spinach (lightly wilted when hot)

• Bok choy (chopped)

Instructions:

1. Layer Your Jar:

   • Start with your base sauce: Combine your chosen ingredients (miso paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and rice wine vinegar) in the bottom of your jar.

   • Add the noodles (either vermicelli or egg noodles) on top of the sauce.

   • Add your choice of protein (crumbled tofu or shredded chicken).

   • Top with your selection of veggies. Layer harder veggies like carrots, capsicum, and mushrooms at the bottom, and softer veggies like spinach or edamame on top.

2. To Serve:

   • Boil water (about 1-2 cups, depending on how much you’re making).

   • Pour hot water into the jar, covering all the ingredients.

   • Stir everything together, letting it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften the noodles and heat everything through. Add more water if needed.

3. Enjoy!

   • Optional: Add a squeeze of lime or extra chili for a zesty or spicy kick.

Optional Extras:

• Chili flakes or sriracha for some heat.

• Sesame oil or peanut butter for added richness.
