Whenever I realize I am ordering out way too much, I try to add more meal prep options to my repertoire. This incredibly delicious vegan creamy red curry instant noodles is my new favorite! These noodles are not only one of the best tasting soups I have ever had, it is probably the easiest soup known to man. You add everything to a glass jar, close the jar and keep in the fridge. Then you can grab one out of the fridge to take with you to work for lunch. All you have to do is add hot water to fill up the jar. Cover and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Stir it up and enjoy! You can eat it right out of the jar, or pour it into a bowl.
What You Need For These Vegan Cup O’ Noodles:
- Vegan Bouillon Cubes: I used no chicken flavor.
- Brown Sugar, Red Curry Paste, Chili Sauce, Rice Wine Vinegar: These all go into the bottom of the jar with the bouillon cubes.
- Coconut Milk: Canned coconut milk provides the creaminess for the soup.
- Mushrooms, Carrots and Baby Spinach: Added in after the soup flavoring.
- Rice Noodles: I used rice noodle ramen, but any rice noodles will do.
- Scallions and Limes: These go on the very top of the jar and then you remove the lime wedge before adding in hot water. Then you squeeze it in at the end.
These vegan creamy red curry instant noodles aren’t just a lunch you are fine with eating. These meal prep instant noodles are something you will be super excited to have for lunch. No sad desk lunch for you, these noodles are a happy-make-everyone-jealous desk lunch! The smell alone of this creamy red curry will bring all your co-workers over to ask, “what are you eating?”. Then you can tell them all how truly easy these are to make.

This looks so good! What size jar do you recommend using?
I used the mason jars with the 12 oz marked, but you can add more to them than that, so I would say a 12 or 16 oz jar!
This looks SOOOO yummy!
Question, though, please… what size Mason jars are you using, 16 oz?
THANK YOU!
Thank YOU! These are the ones that have 12oz marked, but you can add a little more to them than that. So, a 12 or 16 oz mason jar should work!
I made this with green curry paste, since I didn’t want to make a trip to the store for the red. I also used green hot sauce. It turned out great! My rice noodles took a little bit longer to soften, 7 or 8 minutes, but worth the wait.
Thank you for sharing,

This was so dang tasty and an absolute game changer for my work week!
I adjust the measurements a bit to make 5 jars so I could have one for lunch each day of the week and I’m so glad I did. This is one of the tastiest noodle soups I’ve ever had! I can’t believe how easy they are to make.
Nice post
Life changing!
Nice recipe
That tasted great and was super easy. I forgot to use the brown sugar and I didn’t have rice wine vinegar but it was still lovely .I also only added a dash of chilli sauce. I did this at home so I added some chopped cashews and sesame seeds and some mint leaves – the mint leaves went great with this. Thank you for this quick and easy recipe!
