If you enjoyed our Homemade “Instant” Noodles recipe you’re going to love the Tom Yum noodles version! Our new Tom Yum bone broth is delicious as a beverage but it’s also a secret weapon on the kitchen.
Just like most of our recipes, this one leave lots of room for experimentation. You can really use any fast-cooking or thinly sliced vegetable and any protein, but we will make some suggestions. Most homemade “instant” noodles recipes have you add boiling water to cook everything, but we swapped in Brodo for an extra boost of nutrition.
You can also use really any type of noodle for these Tom Yum noodles – however only very thin or parcooked ones can be added to your jar uncooked. This is why we love rice vermicelli for it – sometimes you can even find brown rice vermicelli if you’re lucky. Just make sure the cooking instructions tell you to just add boiling water (you don’t want noodles that you need to boil). Alternatively, used thinly sliced cabbage, enoki mushrooms, or spaghetti squash instead of noodles.
This Homemade “Instant” Noodles recipe is for one soup jar, but it can be easily doubled, tripled, quadrupled – and so on.
Ingredients
- 1-2 pouches Tom Yum Bone Broth
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ingredients of your choice – small cooked shrimp, diced cooked chicken, shredded carrot, thinly sliced red pepper, sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms, etc.
- 1/2 cup noodles of your choice (see above note re: cooked vs. uncooked noodles)
- ¼ to ½ cup cilantro, bean sprouts, spinach, etc.
Special Equipment
- Pint-sized mason jar
- Chopsticks (optional) – you can also use a fork
Instructions
- Keep in mind the more full you pack your jar, the less Brodo will fit. So if you want a brothy soup, stick to the ¼ cup end for the filler and herb ingredients and add 2 pouches of Brodo.
- Add your filler ingredients
- Layer your noodles on top of the filler ingredients.
- Next, layer in your herbs and greens.
- Cap the lid and place your soup jar in the refrigerator until you’re ready to eat it.
- When hunger calls, heat your Brodo to boiling temperature, pour over your ingredients, and stir.
- Cap your noodles and let the jar stand for 3-4 minutes to make sure everything is cooked.
- Bust out some chopsticks (or a fork) and enjoy.
