This Tofu Drunken Noodles in a Mason Jar is perfect for lunch and to add to your Meal Prep
The principle of the dishes in a mason jar is to stack all the ingredients one on top of the other. You can see the different layers of ingredients.
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.
