The best Asian ramen noodle soup is made with a Korean gochujang chili paste in a soy sauce broth. This Korean Chicken Noodle Soup is stacked in mason jars with instant ramen noodles, shredded carrots, celery, Sara Lee® Oven Roasted Chicken Breast, snow peas, and green onions.
Instant ramen noodles were a staple in my home growing up. They are incredibly versatile in a variety of recipes and these mason jar soups require just a few minutes to prepare. With the addition of hot water, ramen noodles cook in three minutes.

HOW TO MAKE KOREAN CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
Head to your local grocery deli and order 1 pound
Sara Lee® Oven Roasted Chicken Breast. You’ll also be able to pick up 1-pint mason jars as well as shredded carrots, celery stalks, green onions, snow peas, ramen noodles, Korean chili paste, and soy sauce.
Start by breaking the ramen noodles to fit into the mason jars. Next, add the shredded carrots, and diced celery. Dice the deli meat and add a layer on top. Next, add a few snow peas to each mason jar. Give the celery leaves a rough chop and add it to the top with green onions. Screw the mason jar lid on and refrigerate until it’s ready to be packed for lunch. In the morning, carry an insulated thermal with the hot Asian broth. At lunchtime, pour the hot water Korean broth into the jar. It’s ready to eat when the noodles are soft; about 3 minutes.
Each week, I meal prep lunch and stock up on a variety of Sara Lee® Premium Meats to use in quick recipes. Their product line is varied and it’s convenient for our busy family. I pair their deli meat with fresh vegetables, herbs, and a fresh sauce. With a variety of fresh deli products, it’s easy to mix and match their premium meats to customize a delicious lunch meal.
For other on the go recipes using Sara Lee® Premium Meats, I like to meal prep these Easy French Dip Sliders ahead of time then reheat them before heading out. For lunch, these Greek Chicken Gyros are delicious. Plus, this Cheddar Jalapeno Ham Cornbread is my favorite to pack for lunch, as well as these Ham and Cheese Pinwheels.

What an absolutely genius idea to transport the dry ingredients and pour in the broth at lunch! My issue with ramen (or any pasta-based soup) is always how soggy the noodles get if you don’t finish the soup right away. This is a brilliant solution!
THIS is awesome! Not only does it sound delicious and SO creative, but it looks so easy and healthy to bring to work for lunch. LOVE it!
Oh yum! This is a perfect recipe for something quick, easy, and yet satisfying. Plus, it’s easy to prep this ahead of time.

I LOVE this idea. I work at home and never seem to take the time for a lunch break. Having these in the fridge would make my day (and my temperament) so much better!
I love Korean food, clean easy and so delicious. This soup is a great work week lunch item that is easily made. I can see taking the mason jar full of those wonderful ingredients and only having to put the broth in. A great loving lunch that is pure confort in a jar. Thanks for sharing!

so smart to make this soup in a jar! I’ve seen plenty of salads in mason jars, but soup is a great twist. And this one looks so fresh and tasty
I think the vermicelli jar is brilliant and so can’t wait to prep this on Sunday as part of my new make ahead lunch meal prep efforts. Fab idea!
Thanks
