Ramen Jars for Camping

Ingredients (per jar):

1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon (or your favorite bouillon paste)

1 teaspoon Sriracha (adjust to spice preference)

1 teaspoon Chili Garlic Sauce

1 teaspoon Soy Sauce (optional for those watching sodium)

1/4 cup Carrots, thinly sliced

1/4 cup Bell Peppers, thinly sliced

1/4 cup Cabbage, shredded

1 Green Onion, chopped

1-2 Jalapeño slices (optional for heat)

1/2 cup Grilled Chicken, sliced

1 serving Par-cooked Ramen Noodles

1 Soft-Boiled Egg (to add after pouring hot water)

Instructions:

Prepare the Jars:

In the bottom of a heatproof jar (like a mason jar), add Better Than Bouillon, Sriracha, Chili Garlic Sauce, and Soy Sauce (if using). Adjust the amounts based on your spice and sodium preferences.

Layer the Veggies:

Add a layer of vegetables: carrots, bell peppers, cabbage, and green onion. If you like extra heat, toss in a few jalapeño slices.

Add the Chicken and Noodles:

Place grilled chicken slices on top of the veggies.

Add the par-cooked ramen noodles on top of the chicken.

Seal and Pack:

Seal the jar tightly with a lid and pack it for your trip. Keep it cool in a cooler if needed.

Cook at the Campsite:

After your hike, boil water over the campfire or with a portable stove.

Pour boiling water into the jar, covering the noodles and other ingredients.

Let it sit for 5-7 minutes, allowing the noodles and veggies to soften and the broth to infuse with flavor.

Top with an Egg:

Before eating, top your ramen with a soft-boiled egg for added richness.

Enjoy!

This ramen jar is a perfect, customizable meal for camping. The layers of sauce, veggies, chicken, and noodles turn into a flavorful soup after just adding boiling water.

Notes:

Noodle Prep: Par-cooking the ramen noodles before the trip ensures they will soften perfectly with just boiling water. Don’t fully cook them, as they will continue cooking in the jar.

Protein Options: While grilled chicken works great, feel free to substitute with tofu, beef, or even shrimp for variety.

Vegetable Selection: Choose veggies that hold up well in a jar, like carrots, bell peppers, cabbage, and green onions. Avoid veggies that might get soggy, such as tomatoes or zucchini.

Spice Levels: Adjust the amount of Sriracha and chili garlic sauce to your spice tolerance. For a milder version, reduce or omit them.

Make Ahead: You can prepare these jars up to 2 days in advance, making them a great time-saver for camping trips.

Egg Preparation: Soft boil the eggs before your trip, and store them in a separate container to add to the ramen when ready.

Jar Size: Use a large mason jar (at least 16 oz) to fit all the ingredients comfortably and allow space for boiling water.
