NOODLES IN A JAR
This Asian Noodles in a jar recipe was inspired by my love of broths, soups, Chinese soups and just a love for Asian flavored food in general. This soup really brings out some crisp, yummy vegetables and serves you with the perfect noodles for your soup.
I didn’t want to bring you the same ol recipe you can find anywhere, I wanted to also bring you an interesting one, one that will excite your tastebuds and get you truly excited for that next meal.
