Healthy homemade instant noodles

Healthy Instant Noodles

Georgina Orr
I usually make this as a meal prep for work in plastic containers but apparently you shouldn’t put boiling water in plastic containers so I’ve been transferring all the ingredients into a bowl at work and covering with a plate.
You could get a glass container or BPA safe if you’re concerned about the plastic-y thing but I’m not sure what the whole thang is. 
Either way – I love this as something different than your meal prepped salads and broccoli with chicken 🤪

Equipment

  • 1 Heat proof container
  • 1 Kettle
  • 1 Microwave
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Chopping Board

Ingredients
  

  • 40 g vermicelli bean thread noodles
  • 50 g button mushrooms
  • 30 g cabbage
  • 50 g chilli tofu
  • 1 stalk spring onion
  • 2 tsp miso paste
  • 1 tsp stock powder
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • 1 tsp chilli oil
  • 3 drops sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Start by getting your containers together – I find it helps with mess to chuck everything in as I go.
  • Add a bundle of uncooked rice noodles into each container.
  • Thinly slice your mushrooms, cabbage, snow peas, spring onion and any other veggies (feel free to swap any out that you don’t like!). 
  • Cut up your protein of choice, I usually use the chilli tofu from Coles but you could use cooked shredded chicken, thinly sliced raw beef (you can sometimes get this frozen from any asian supermarket). 
  • Add the miso paste, stock powder, garlic, chilli oil, sesame oil on top (it doesn’t matter on the order it all gets mixed together eventually).
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days (depending on what protein you use, for meat I would only stick to 3 days and always check the best before dates).
  • Once at work, add boiling water straight to the container or add everything to a bowl then add boiling water. Note: if you don’t have boiling water but you do have a microwave you could always add water and heat up in the microwave for a few minutes. 
  • Make sure you mix everything up especially the miso and enjoy! You can eat the noodles and the soup. 🍜
