Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil for the noodles, and cook according to package instructions. Drain the noodles, and toss them in a couple teaspoons of neutral oil to keep them from sticking to each other.
  2. Meanwhile, cook your protein (season with a pinch of salt).
  3. To build your jar, combine all the ingredients for your sauce of choice in a small bowl, and pour in the the bottom of the jar. Layer the noodles on top, followed by the protein, vegetables, and herbs of choice.
  4. Refrigerate until ready to eat. Shake to combine all the ingredients just before enjoying.
