    Thai Shrimp Noodles in a Jar

    I’m not going to lie, cup noodles are addictive and so easy to leave at work to make when in a time crunch. However, it’s not healthy and is one of the first things that I cut from my eating habits when moving towards a healthier lifestyle. So I decided to make my own fancier and healthier instant noodles in a jar!

    I changed up the flavour a bit as I had a bunch of these thai curry paste packets lying around after testing and making a few recipes with them (Instant Pot Coconut Thai Curry Chicken and Thai Potato Leek Soup). The green curry paste add so much flavour to this homemade instant noodle and you’re not going to want to go back to regular cup noodles after this!

    What You’ll Need to Make Thai Shrimp Noodles in a Jar

    • coconut milk
    • soy sauce
    • green thai curry paste
    • better than bouillon (chicken flavour)
    • carrot
    • snow peas
    • baby spinach
    • vermicelli noodles
    • cooked shrimp

    How To Make Thai Shrimp Noodles in a Jar

    • In a bowl, mix together your coconut milk, soy sauce, and green thai curry paste. Pour the mixture evenly into 3 jars.
    • Next, add 1/4 tsp of better than bouillon into each jar.
    • Next, start layering in the carrots, snow peas, baby spinach, and then cooked vermicelli noodles. Top it off with the shrimp.
    • Seal and store in the fridge until ready to eat.
    • When ready to eat, bring your jar to room temperature before pouring hot water into the jar. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes, until the vegetables have softened to your liking. Alternatively, you can pour all the contents of the jar into a bowl and add the hot water directly into the bowl instead.

    Tips and Notes about Making This Healthy Instant Noodles in a Jar

    • Do not add hot water directly into a cold jar as that could cause the glass to crack. While I’ve added hot water to a room temperature jar before, if you want to avoid any potential accidents, pour the contents into a bowl before adding hot water.
    • If you do not have better than bouillon, an alternative could be half of an all natural or organic bouillon cube.
    • To cook both the vermicelli noodles and shrimp, I boiled water in a pot and let them cook in it. You should be able to find the instructions for the timing of each on their packaging.
    • If you plan on eating from the jar directly, be sure to choose a large enough jar (such as this one!) so you can comfortable eat from it without spilling anything.
    • I chose to boil my shrimp, you can always pan fry or cook it with the method of your choice.
    • For the easiest way to slice up super thin noodles, I use a vegetable peeler to make strips of carrot.
