    Tofu Vegan Drunken Noodle in layers in  a Mason Jar lunch

    As the saying goes, we eat with our eyes first.  When you have an appealing-looking lunch, it makes you more excited to eat healthy.  While it’s common to pack oats and salads in mason jars, you can also use them to layer noodle and pasta dishes.  For my Vegan Tofu Drunken Noodle in a Mason Jar, I pile in the sauce, noodles, and veggies into the glass containers for a lunch that’s as tasty as it is pretty. 

    The sealed jars can be stored in the fridge for up to five days, so prep can be done on Sunday night for the entire week of lunches.  This recipe makes 4 servings, but can easily be doubled to feed more people. 

    Start by browning your tofu in a hot pan with garlic and ginger, before making an Asian-inspired sauce with tamari, maple syrup, sriracha sauce, and rice vinegar.  You can also add a tablespoon of red curry paste to give a kick of heat – add as little or as much as you like, depending on how spicy you prefer your noodles.

    Once you’ve made the sauce, begin layering your ingredients.  You could technically mix everything ahead of time, but the jars are more attractive when each portion remains separate.  Split the sauce evenly between the jars, followed by the noodles, veggies, and tofu.  Don’t forget to garnish with cilantro, sesame seeds, and a lime wedge. 

    You can eat these Vegan Tofu Drunken Noodles directly out of the jar, or empty them into a bowl.  Just give the jar a little shake first to help incorporate the sauce throughout.  Be careful if you take these to the office with you – your coworkers will be jealous of your beautiful lunch!

    FAQ'S
