noodle soup in a jar.

So 2016 is now upon us and I've enjoyed a few weeks away camping with friends and enjoying the summer sun. However I've missed my blogging and am ready to get back into it. Tonight I made Noodle Soup in a Jar which was a recipe I found on Facebook and thought I'd try. The link to the recipe I've added as they have great step by step instructions and pics.

The beauty of this recipe is that you can play with flavours and put in what you like. I've varied the vegetables and put in spinach, broccoli, beans, carrots and mung beans. I halved the hot sauce cause I wasn't sure how hot it would be and in the end it gave it quite a good kick to the sauce. 

I cooked the dried noodles and evenly placed them between the two jars and left them to cool.

While the noodles were cooling I made the sauce from miso paste, soy sauce, hot sauce, stock and combined. Once the noodles were cooked I evenly distrubuted the sauce between the jars and then placed my pre cooked meant, of which I've used chicken, but you can have prawns as a variety.

The finish product looks a little like this and the beauty of it is that it can be kept for a couple of days so I've made one for tomorrow, which u can take to work or have for dinner. 

I did notice that my sauce once I added the boiling water didn't go as red as the recipe suggested it would, but this could have been because of the miso I used.

Would love to hear if anyone has any varieties or ideas that you could do similar recipe with.
