Ingredients

Seasoning Mix

  • 4 teaspoons soy sauce (divided)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder (divided)
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder (divided)

Vegetables

  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, peas, green beans, divided)

Noodles and Broth Base

  • 8 ounces dry ramen noodles, broken into pieces
  • 4 cubes chicken bouillon or 4 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder

Garnish

  • 4 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare seasoning: Divide the soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly between 4 clean mason jars. Gently stir each jar's contents with a fork to combine the seasonings thoroughly.
  2. Add vegetables: Layer ½ cup of frozen mixed vegetables on top of the seasoning mix in each jar. The vegetables should remain frozen to help preserve freshness and texture.
  3. Add noodles: Break the ramen noodles into manageable pieces and place them in each jar on top of the vegetables, dividing evenly.
  4. Add bouillon: Add one chicken bouillon cube or one teaspoon of chicken bouillon powder to each jar, sprinkling over the ramen noodles.
  5. Add green onions: Top each jar with a generous amount of sliced green onions. Avoid mixing to keep layers distinct.
  6. Seal and store: Secure lids tightly on the jars and refrigerate. These jars can be stored for up to 4 days before use.
  7. Prepare to eat: When ready to enjoy, remove the lid and pour 1 ¼ cups of boiling water directly into the jar over the noodles and bouillon.
  8. Mix broth: Twist the lid back on and gently shake the jar to distribute the bouillon and hot water evenly throughout the noodles and vegetables. Let sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to allow the noodles to cook and ingredients to infuse.
  9. Final stir and serve: Remove the lid again, stir thoroughly with chopsticks or a fork to fully dissolve the bouillon and blend flavors. You may eat the noodles directly from the jar or pour into a bowl or cup.

Notes

  • Use boiling water to ensure noodles cook properly and bouillon dissolves completely.
  • Feel free to customize by swapping vegetables or using vegetable bouillon for a vegetarian option.
  • Do not add hot water before consumption; jars are intended to be refrigerated with dry ingredients until ready to eat.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prepping lunches or quick snacks for busy days.
