Instructions:
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.
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.
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.
