DIY Instant Noodles In A Jar

Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme is International!

Although Hong Kong isn’t exactly the area of origin for instant noodles (that’d be Japan!), there’s something like 36 different countries now with their own version of instant noodles, so we’re gonna go with that today! (No one said the theme had to be from my culture! ;P ) Yay for DIY Instant Noodles?!

When I was growing up (sigh), I used to eat instant noodles pretty regularly (sigh).

They were my go-to midnight snack from junior high through high school, usually when I was deeply absorbed in a book and didn’t want to sleep yet because I wanted to finish it! (This habit was also the reason why I ended up getting contacts, because having fogged-up glasses while you’re trying to read is a total downer.)

I can’t remember the last time I actually had packaged instant noodles, but I did make a healthified ramen bowl a couple years(?!) back!

Now I’m back again for a more portable version of instant noodles to suit my/your on-the-go needs! These are super tasty and highly customizable, so you can go to town on the different mix-in’s in accordance to whatever it is that you want to add!

We’re likely going to be making this again at some point in our meal-prepping gatherings, so stay tuned, but in the meantime, read on to find out what we stuck in our DIY Instant Noodles! :]
