Ingredients

1 1/2 tsp.
vegetable bouillon base (we used Better Than Bouillon)
1/4 tsp.
grated fresh ginger
1 Tbsp.
warm water
1
bundle (about 11/2 ounces) instant rice vermicelli
1/4 cup
kimchi, roughly chopped
1/4 cup
shelled edamame, thawed if frozen
1 cup
baby spinach
2
cremini mushrooms, very thinly sliced
1
scallion, thinly sliced
2 1/2 cups
boiling water

Directions

1. Step 1In 32-ounce wide-mouth mason jar or other heatproof jar, combine bouillon base and ginger. Stir in warm water. Add noodles and carefully cut in half with kitchen shears. Add to jar in following order: kimchi, edamame, spinach, mushrooms, and scallion; screw on lid. Refrigerate overnight if desired.
2. Step 2If refrigerated, let jar sit 20 minutes at room temperature. When ready to serve, pour boiling water over ingredients and cover with lid. Let sit until noodles are tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then stir to combine.

Pump Up the Protein: Add 1/2 cup shredded rotisserie chicken and replace the vegetable bouillon base with chicken bouillon base, or pop in 6 to 8 frozen cooked small shrimp (they’ll thaw overnight in the refrigerator).
