DIRECTIONS:
► STEP 1: Add ingredients to a mason jar.
► STEP 2: Refrigerate mason jar for up to 3-4 days until you're ready to eat. Keep in mind, shelf-life will depend on the ingredients you use (e.g. tofu has shorter shelf life - see below).
► STEP 3: Remove mason jar from fridge and let jar come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes by resting on the counter, or run it under lukewarm water for a couple of minutes. This will help prevent the hot water from cooling down too quickly, and reduce risk of glass cracking.
► STEP 4: Boil 2 cups (500 ml) of water.
► STEP 5: Add boiling water to mason jar until ingredients are fully covered. Cover with lid.
► STEP 6: Let ingredients steep for 5 minutes until ingredients are softened.
► STEP 7: Remove the lid, squeeze lime wedge, give contents a stir to mix soup base, and enjoy!
► NOTE: You can enjoy the noodles straight out of the jar, or pour the jar contents into a bowl to enjoy. Warm it up in the microwave (using a microwave-safe bowl) for an extra minute or two if desired.
