•   2 tbsp vegetable bouillon (paste or powder)
•   1 tsp chili crunch oil
•   1 tbsp soy sauce
•   1 tsp sesame oil
•   2 tsp minced garlic
•   1/4 medium red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
•   1/2 cup edamame
•   1/3 cup firm tofu (cubed)
•   1-2 tbsp green onions (sliced)
•   1 small handful instant vermicelli rice noodles

Ingredients are subject to availability at local stores. Unavailable items will be automatically substituted at best-effort.

Directions

1. To the bottom of a 16-ounce (or larger) heatproof jar, add vegetable bouillon, chili crunch oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Mix these base flavorings together.
2. Layer your fresh ingredients on top: add sliced red bell pepper, shredded cabbage mix, edamame, tofu (or your protein of choice), and sliced green onions.
3. Finally, place the instant vermicelli rice noodles on top of the vegetables (this helps them steam properly).
4. When ready to eat, carefully pour boiling water into the jar until all ingredients are submerged. Seal the jar and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until the noodles are cooked to your liking.
5. Give everything a good stir to distribute the flavors from the bottom of the jar. Enjoy directly from the jar or pour into a bowl.
