This easy-to-make and easy-to-take noodle jar is perfect for a delicious, healthy lunch. Just add the ingredients to the jar, take it with you, and add boiling water when you're ready to eat.
Notes: -For more flavor, 3/4 cup broth can be used in place of the water when preparing the noodles.--For extra crunch, add 1-2 tablespoons chopped peanuts or cashews after adding the hot liquid to the jar.-Thai curry paste comes in several varieties - yellow, green, panang, red, and massaman. It can be found in most grocery stores in the Asian section, or in specialty markets. I used yellow curry paste, which is vegetarian. Use whichever you can find or like best. The different kinds of paste will vary in spiciness, so if needed, start with 1 teaspoon and add extra to taste.-Rice sticks or pad Thai noodles can also be found in the Asian section of most grocery stores or in specialty markets. They come in S, M, and L. I used M for this recipe.-This recipe makes one jar. Feel free to make 5 times the amount so you have enough for the whole week. If you prefer a larger lunch, double the recipe and use a larger jar.
