Instructions

Prepare Seasonings: Add the Better Than Bouillon, soy sauce, dried parsley, ground ginger, and garlic powder into a 16-ounce wide-mouth mason jar. Stir well to combine these dry and flavorful ingredients evenly.
Add Vegetables: Pour the frozen mixed vegetables on top of the seasoning layer in the jar, but do not stir. This layering helps separate ingredients for better texture after cooking.
Layer Noodles and Onion: Place the dried ramen noodles atop the frozen vegetables. Breaking the noodles into smaller pieces will help them cook more thoroughly and quickly. Sprinkle the thinly sliced green onions over the noodles, keeping layers intact and unmixed.
Store: Secure the lid tightly on the jar. Store the ramen cup in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, which allows you to prepare multiple servings ahead of time.
Serve with Boiling Water: When ready to eat, pour 1¼ cups of boiling water over the noodles in the jar. Cover with the lid and let it sit for 5 minutes, allowing the noodles to soften and seasonings to dissolve thoroughly. Stir before enjoying.
Microwave Option: Alternatively, add enough water to just cover the noodles. Microwave the jar (without metal lid) for 2 minutes. Let it stand covered for another 2 minutes, then stir to ensure the seasonings are fully mixed and the noodles are tender.

Notes

Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt content in the ramen cup.
Breaking the ramen noodles into smaller pieces before layering helps speed up the cooking process.
Do not mix layers before cooking to preserve texture and prevent sogginess.
Store the assembled ramen cup in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 4 days for meal prep convenience.
Ensure boiling water is poured carefully into the jar to avoid burns.
Microwave only in microwave-safe containers and avoid using metal lids.
