Healthy Instant Noodles

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 🤪

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

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

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Start by getting your containers together – I find it helps with mess to chuck everything in as I go.
  2. Add a bundle of uncooked rice noodles into each container.
  3. Thinly slice your mushrooms, cabbage, snow peas, spring onion and any other veggies (feel free to swap any out that you don’t like!). 
  4. 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). 
  5. 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).
  6. 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).
  7. 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. 
  8. Make sure you mix everything up especially the miso and enjoy! You can eat the noodles and the soup. 🍜
