Description
A quick and easy meal prep solution for delicious instant ramen noodles with your choice of protein and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 servings instant ramen noodles (gluten-free if needed) (I love lotus foods for brown rice Ramen noodles!)
- 4 servings prepared protein of choice (shredded or cubed chicken, shrimp, baked or air-fried tofu, edamame, etc)
- 1–2 zucchini, spiralized (optional) (can do all zucchini noodles, 1/2 zucc and 1/2 regular instant ramen or brown rice noodles, etc)
- 4 tsp zoup chicken base or bouillon
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp miso (optional)
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 large carrot, shredded
- 2 tsp sriracha (optional)
- 4 tsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup diced onion or green onion
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 6 cups bone broth or water (1 1/2 cups per jar)
Instructions
- Grab 4 jars. I like to use 20-30oz wide mouth jars because they allow extra room to make eating less messy but 16oz jars will work great as well!
- If your proteins aren’t already prepared, prepare them to your liking. I like to use slow cooked shredded chicken, pan seared shrimp, air fried tofu, etc.
- If using zucchini noodles, simply spiralize the zucchini and set aside (you’ll need a spiralizer tool!). You won’t cook these.
- For instant ramen noodles, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen and cook for 2 minutes. You don’t want to cook them all the way through! Rinse under cold water and drain well. Set aside.
- To each jar add the following: 1 tsp zoup base or bouillon, ½ tsp soy sauce, ¼ tsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, ⅛ tsp ginger powder, 1/2 tsp miso paste (optional), and ½ tsp sriracha.
- Then add some of the shredded carrot, sliced mushrooms, and chopped onion to each jar. Then add a serving of protein to each. Next goes in the noodles. Lastly, add a large handful of spinach to each jar (about 1/2 cup).
- Add the lids to the jars, closing them tight and place in the fridge until ready to eat (up to 4 days).
- When ready to eat, add 1 1/2 cups boiling bone broth (this will add the best flavor/nutrients) or water to the jar, close the jar, and let the soup sit for a few minutes. Give it a good shake to mix everything up, and enjoy!
- Alternatively, you can also dump the contents of the jar into a saucepan, add the broth, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to low and let it cook for a minute or two. Enjoy!
- If packing these for work, you can add the broth to the jar in the morning and just heat the soup when ready to eat.
Notes
