Ingredients

1 tablespoon yellow miso

1/2 teaspoon chicken base 

1/2 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce, such as sambal oelek

1/8 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Small handful broken-up dried rice vermicelli

1/3 cup shredded rotisserie chicken

2 shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps sliced thinly

6 snow peas or sugar snap peas, strings removed, sliced thinly on the bias

1 scallion, greens only, thinly sliced

Directions

Special equipment:
a lidded 16-ounce heat-safe container
  1. Add the miso, chicken base, chili-garlic sauce and ginger to the bottom of a lidded 16-ounce heat-safe container. Top with the rice vermicelli, chicken, mushrooms, peas and scallions. Secure the lid and refrigerate until using, up to overnight.
  2. When ready to eat, add 1 1/4 cups boiling water to the container, cover and let sit until the noodles soften, about 7 minutes. Uncover and stir to dissolve the miso.

I loved this recipe! I had all the ingredients except the mushrooms, which I know would be delicious in this soup, so I subbed in some chopped baby bok choy which gave the soup a nice little texture even after adding the boiling water and letting it sit. It was so authentic tasting, comforting, and plain delicious. I will add the mushrooms next time and like another reviewer might add some cooked shrimp. Lots of flavors and textures to play with, but the miso, ginger and sambal are mandatory. So fun, quick and easy!
