Home Made Pot Noodles

Need to take something different to work for lunch?

Even want something different at home for lunch?

This is a simple take on the store bought pot noodle but with fresh ingredients that make it taste nicer!

To start with you will need to get hold of the fine type noodles that you pick up in the supper market.

I have listed several combinations that can be tried but feel free to change and mix around. All you will need to do is combine the “POT” (old fresh soup container) and the “JAR” (baby food jar or simular) and add boiling water from the kettle when you are ready to eat.

Best combienations are are 1 & a, 2 &b
