Noodles, stock, frozen vegetables and a little chili sauce microwaved together in a large mug. Pour into a soup canister to take it along.

  • 2 tablespoons frozen mixed vegetables
  • 2 teaspoons amino acids or soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sliced green onions

Directions

  • Put all the ingredients in a large microwave-safe mug (the broth can bubble up). Snap the noodles so they fit.
  • Microwave 2 to 2½ minutes until the noodles are soft.
  • Serve hot, and season to taste with more chili sauce, sesame seeds or other flavorings.

Notes

Tip: pour the finished ramen into a soup canister to take along; it stays hot for hours.
