The easiest meal prep that also allows you to use whatever extra veggies you have on hand!

I ate so many instant noodle cups in high school and college, this recipe gives me major throwback feels.
What you need for this recipe:
You can use whatever veggies you want in these instant noodle jars! I’ll list what I used but feel free to tailor it to whatever you have on hand/personal preferences.
Chili garlic sauce
Garlic
Coconut Aminos
Better than bouillon chicken
Carrots
Bell peppers
Green Onions
Spinach
Ramen Noodles
Chicken
Chicken Broth
Mason Jars
You can use any jars that have lids that you may have on hand. I love to save old pasta sauce jars for recipes like this too.
You’ll whisk together the sauce ingredients in the jar before adding in veggies, chicken, and noodles. Make sure you don’t add broth until you’re ready to eat. These jars will last for 4-5 days in the fridge without the broth added to them.
