There are no rules with this recipe so get creative with your favourite veggies. You can use as many or as little of the toppings mentioned… it’s really up to you (it is good to fill the jar up with nice things or it will be too watery) Try using the following in a variety of combinations:
Edamame beans, broccoli stems, chilli flakes, mushrooms, any sprouts (eg alfalfa, mungbean, fenugreek etc), sesame seeds, courgette, curry paste, yeast extract, grated ginger, garlic, sugar snap peas, avocado, sliced red/yellow pepper, green beans, mangetout, broad beans, grated beetroot, celery, tinned pineapple, sweetcorn (tinned or fresh), cauliflower, tinned chickpeas, tinned black beans, radish, fresh herbs, onion (finely diced)
Instructions
- Get a 1 litre mason jar with a lid (you’ll probably end up wanting to make this recipe all the time so it’s worth getting one).
- Put the liquids and pastes into the bottom of the jar and then fill the jar up in layers with your favourite combination of noodles, veg, seeds, sprouts, tofu etc or use the ingredients mentioned above.
- Fill the jar to ¾ full of boiling water, straight from the kettle.
- Stir thoroughly, put the lid back on and leave to sit for 10 minutes.
- Stir again really well before eating 🙂
