FOR THE ASIAN-INSPIRED CUP:

  • 1-2 tsp Mushroom Stock Base such as Better Than Bouillon brand
  • 3 tbsp Teriyaki Sauce I used a bottled sauce (reserve 1 tbsp for the cup)
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger grated

Instructions

  • For either sauce base, combine the ingredients before adding to the cup.
  • Pre-cook the noodles for either cup about 2 minutes less than the package instructions.
  • For the mushrooms, simply add to a dry pan over medium high heat and saute until a bit browned.
  • For the soy curls, simply rehydrate in boiling water for 5-10 minutes, drain and using paper towels, squeeze out extra moisture. Add to a hot saute pan with 2 tbsp of the teriyaki sauce until the edges are browned and caramelized.
  • Layer your cup with the sauce base first, then the protein source, noodles and finally vegetables. 
  • Allow the cup to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to avoid extreme temperature changes in the glass and remove lid. 
  •  Add about 1 to 1-1/4 cups of water and microwave for about 2-3 minutes. Let stand for and additional 2-3 minutes. Enjoy!
