Loaded Lazy Noodle Bowls

Who knew those cheap just-add-water noodle bowls could be so fancy? Let me show you how with these Loaded Lazy Noodle Bowls!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 2 servings
Course: Lunch
Cuisine: Asian-Inspired

Ingredients
  

  • 2 packages vegan instant noodles (GF if necessary)
  • 1 cup dry soy curls
  • 2 baby bok choy
  • 1 small carrot
  • ½ a celery stalk
  • 2" piece daikon radish
  • 2 green onions, for topping
  • 1 handful cilantro, for topping
  • 2 lime wedges, for topping
  • sriracha to taste

Method
 

  1. Soak the soy curls. In a large bowl, pour enough boiling hot water over them to completely cover plus 1 inch. Let sit for 10 minutes, then strain and press out any excess moisture with a spatula.
  2. Chop your veggies. Bite sized pieces are best! Empty the content of your instant noodle packages into two bowls, and add all the veggies except the bok choy and green onion. Pour about 1.5 cups of hot water over the contents, and cover with plates. Let cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Quickly sear the bok choy with a teaspoon of oil (and any optional add-ins: I added frozen edamame, pictured above) while the noodles and veggies cook.
  4. Load 'em up! Add the hydrated soy curls, seared boy choy and garnishes to your bowls of noodles and veggies. Enjoy!
