Description

Lunch is never a bore or a hassle with my incredible and simple Instant Pho to Go! The ingredients are never boring, always delicious and never-ending! Create vegetarian, vegan and meat lover options with my super simple formula!!!


Ingredients

Scale

Flavor Base

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 heaping tbsp of Better than Bouillon
  • 1/4 tsp of sesame oil
  • 1 chili thinly sliced (optional)
  • a few squirts of siracha depending on how spicy you like it
  • 1 tsp sliced lemon grass
  • 1 tsp sliced ginger
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 good handful of fresh cilantro

Soup

  • 4 oz of cooked chicken breast or cooked turkey or rare roast beef deli meat
  • 1/4 cup of green veggies
  • 2 oz dry rice noodles
  • 1 boiled egg
  • lime sliced into wedges

Instructions

  1. Place all of the ingredients of your flavor base (see above) except the cilantro into the container so it lays on the bottom.
  2. Add in your rice noodles. Hint: if you need to break them in half so they fit into the container, do so over the sink because they will go EVERYWHERE.
  3. Add in some greens and veggies. Chopped spinach, chopped baby bok choy, bean sprouts are always a winner. I happened to have chopped brussels sprouts.
  4. Add protein of choice, including the boiled egg.
  5. Top off with cilantro and the lime.
  6. Place in the fridge at work and let it hang out until lunch time.
  7. Once lunch rolls around remove the lime, pour in boiling water and give it a really good mix. I actually do like chop sticks for this 🙂 Make sure you break up your flavor base and get everything nicely incorporated. Let it hang out for about 8 minutes or until noodles are tender.
  8. Enjoy and slurp

Notes

  1. IF you want to keep this meat free just add extra veggies and you are all golden. Also you can use the vegetarian chicken soup base from Better than Bouillon.
  2. The nutritional values are based off of using chicken breast.
