Notes
Use wide-mouth jars: It makes layering and eating this delicious meal even easier.
Break noodles if needed: Snap them smaller to fit into regular-mouth jars.
If using bouillon powder: If using this instead of a bouillon cube, add the powder to the bottom of the jars with the soy sauce and seasoning, and stir until dissolved.
If serving at home: If you plan on enjoying these for lunch at home, you can omit the bouillon and add boiling chicken broth when ready to serve.
Pour slowly: When adding boiling water, pour slowly to avoid overflow.
Shake gently: A gentle shake helps distribute the seasonings without making a mess.
Let it sit: When ready to serve, let the jar sit covered for at least 5 minutes after adding boiling water.
