Instant Noodle Bowl

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup (1 oz./40 g) diced carrot
  • 1 ounce (35 g) thin rice noodles or rice vermicelli
  • ½ cup (1 oz./30 g) shredded bok choy, washed
  • ½ cup (2½ oz./70 g) diced cooked chicken or firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons fresh or frozen corn
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions (green leaves only)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (GF if needed)
  • ½ teaspoon chile puree
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic-infused oil
  • ¼ teaspoon low-FODMAP chicken or vegetable bouillon powder (GF if needed)
  • 1½ cups boiling water
  • Squeeze of lemon or lime juice
  • Sprinkle of fresh cilantro

Method:

  1. Cook the carrot in the microwave for 1 minute, 30 seconds on high, then drain.
  2. Place the carrot, noodles, bok choy, chicken or tofu, corn, scallions, soy sauce, chile puree, ginger, oil, and bouillon powder in a bowl or lunch container.
  3. Ten minutes before you are ready to eat, add the boiling water (make sure the noodles are fully immersed) and cover. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. The noodles should be just cooked; if they aren't, microwave them for 1 minute.
  4. Season with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Mix well before eating.
