Noodle jars
I first came across the ‘noodle jar’ thanks to the wonderful Donna Hay some years ago. Noodle jars had their starring moment on Pinterest and in food magazines for a long while there and I’m here to say that they are still awesome and easy, and need a regular place in your repertoire.
Ingrediënten
- ⅓ cup 100 g white miso
- ⅓ cup 80 ml soy sauce
- 4 handfuls dried vermicelli or egg noodles
- 4 handfuls green vegetables such as sugar snap peas, thinly sliced spring onions (scallions) or small broccoli florets
- 4 –6 cups 1–1.5 litres boiling water
Instructies
- Grab a 2 cup (500 ml) jar (or thereabouts) for each person.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the miso into the bottom of each jar and drizzle in 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce.
- Divide the noodles and vegetables among the jars.
- Put the lids on the jars, then fill a large thermos with boiling water and off you go.
- When you’re ready to eat, pour the boiling water into each jar, seal and leave to ‘cook’ for a few minutes or until the noodles are soft.
- Tuck in!

VARIATIONS:
I always pack chilli flakes for my jar, but if you had some spiced chilli oil (see here), that would be great, too. You can also add some chopped cooked chicken or any other protein you have on hand.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
