You are a beautiful person for posting this...
bassboss
I think we need to talk about the definition of the word "instant"
BourneID
So if I randomly this comment, I won't forget about this post? Right?
zigbigidorlu
Kimchi, eh?

Damnit! Those jars are for weed!

Fresh dill in an office setting. *shudder*
WhatsUpButtercup
So much effort when I can spend $.69 on a cup-o-noodles. I get that it is healthier but healthiness is the last concern when eating these.
chickenwingking
At least I don't feel like crap after eating one of these.
TheCanadianNerd
I think taste is the main concern with these. :P That first one looks incredible. Same with the coconut curry shrimp one. Hnnnnnng
DragonEmperor18
You put effort into better food, in the sense of taste, quality and nutrition. Yes you can be 'lazy' and just do that but it's not as good.
manofthewild07
Not just lazy, but affordable. Just that small serving of shitake mushrooms is likely 2x as much as an entire pack of cup-o-noodles.
minimouse
Idk why you got downvoted. You're completely right.
Bolognapogna
Using regular Kimchi in soup is HORRIBLE. You need sour (overly ripe) Kimchi bases. Also, beef jerky? Really!?

Bolognapogna
Miso is great.
JMSinATL
The jerky will rehydrate, so it'll be chewy strips of beef. Not shitty.
Bolognapogna
No one ever would have known that dried meat would rehydrate in water. I was talking about the additives, sodium and cost.
msa011
I hate shiitake mushrooms with a passion :/
princesslemon
Why!? They're so good!
msa011
Not sure, I kinda find their flavour to be a bit too 'neutral', let's say I was eating some spicy ramen, then BAM, neutral shiitake cuts in
princesslemon
Haha okok yeah I get what you mean, it's an acquired taste I guess.
micronoodles
As a Korean, don't take kimchi soup to work if you don't want some of your Co-workers to hate you.
pochama
I made and brought kimchi fried rice to work one day..no one could figure out what the weird smell was. I enjoyed their suffering.
mechanimated
Yeah, I was about to say...most smelly food isn't THAT bad but kimchi has a powerful and persistent odor.
TeamSixBison
Fuck them, I eat what I want.
Clarkkentthepoet
Yeah you do ;)
AnActualDuck
As one of those co-workers (not yours, specifically), I endorse this statement.

And downvoted cuz assholes can't take a joke.

No, just that some of us aren't pussies and get our panties in a bunch when we don't get THE JOKE.
Zodi
If you have to defend yourself, it wasn't a good joke.
TaraAllen001
Genius. I'll have to try these!
SilentlyAborted
I hate that font.
SinisterKid128
I'm thinking you missed the top point of eating cup noodles. You lost all fucks about health nutrition and you have zero motivation to cook.
shark127
Just cook some normal pasta; even better with whole-grain. I get it that the tittle is a bit misleading, but it doesn't change the idea.
tisdella
You're so right!
OverpricedCrayon
Or you're poor as dirt
Simonhasablackass
Yes! Thank you.
OnceUponaLittleWhovian
Don't see it as an alternative to cup noodles. See it as a quick, nutritional, yummy lunch you can bring to work.
amberkc
"quick"
OnceUponaLittleWhovian
Quick once you're at work. These are just some preparations the night before.
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
And they're dirt cheap
BlindyBlindMansSonnySon
I mean the prep time on this alone has to disqualify it from being 'instant'
OnceUponaLittleWhovian
But you can do that the night before, then take it to work. It's supposed to be a healthy, easy lunch, not a lazy meal.
BlindyBlindMansSonnySon
still not instant though, is it?
coolxal
But then it's not instant noodles. You can do the same with a sandwich.
figsbar
Wait, a sammich is a level of difficulty up from instant noodles in your book? The hell do you put on those buggers?
Zodi
There are many other foods out there that are more nutritious and less time consuming. This is just a fucking circlejerk for pinterest girls
uitSCHOT
10/10 will try this when I... who am I kidding, I'm going to forget about this as soon as I click next
steinhoff
Me: Maybe if I favorite it I'll do it one day.
onmars
story of my life.
SenorGonzo
I just put it in my Favorites, so I can forget about it there.
thegr8rambino
AHAHHAHAHAHA
TheHappyHermit
I'll stare at the pictures, imagining what it tastes like while eating my fried bologna & velveeta sammich.
Hareu
same here except I'm eating microwaved tortilla chips with american cheese on the top.
Whydopeoplekeepcallingmethat
That's why I'm adding it to favorites, so in 2 months I'll be like "Oh, I should try that", and maybe do it in another 2 months.
Dstroy
Next time please make the jars into 64oz big gulps for scale
Rhyle
Tip on the spicy kimchi beef, if using Better than Bullion DO NOT use a freaking tablespoon!
Rhyle
Also go mildly on the chili garlic oil or you'll end up with something that resembles seawater mixed with sriracha and bhut jolokia.
Rhyle
Also, skip the beef jerky only adds MORE salt. If you follow this recipe as posted you will not like it, unless you're a deer.
Theprincessbride
Does fishsauce have shellfish in it?
Numus
I made this a few weeks ago and got the jars from https://glaspak.com/bormioli-fido-jars
HachiChan
Nope, sorry, that's my weed jar.

"Chicne base"
tex81024
it's spelled correctly, it's just that the letters are spaced weird
SolitaSoulSaysSi
Looked for this comment, finally found it. Take a +1 and get on up there, you detailed-oriented fucker!

maxcarrot
Cup Noodle is what you make when you don't have any food... Why would you turn food into a Cup Noodle?
WeCouldAllGoPeeTogether
Well....this makes the sandwich I just ate for lunch look like a beaver shat poplar bark into my lunchpail.
Aelinsaar
The irony here is that we've ALL eaten castoreum... aka Beaver Shit Oil.
TTwiggs
+1 for specifying cheap wood
AnActualDuck
Still a better love story than Twilight.
flipstache
You're not very poplar at work, are you?
Rhulain
I laughed through my nose like a retard for like a minute straight. +1 for you

This comment is so Canadian, Brian Adams, Celine Dion, and Justin Bieber just had a threesome.

Eloquently stated, +1 to you.
samuraistrikemike
Am I the only one that finds sandwiches horridly boring and depressing?
ZobRombie
Yeah, everyday my sandwiches commit suicide...in my mouth.
TheJacksonFour
+1 for using an ugly wood.. its all about the details.
Sauroctonus
"Beaver" and "shat". Two beautiful words. :3

You are a poet, good Sir.
alittlebirdyoncesaid
As someone who eats ramen at work, thank you. I have been wanting fresher, better noodles for work. +1billion if I could.
crihsagnlel
man, eating your homemade lunch at work really is great. I was a line cook for 2 years, and now I work in an office.
crihsagnlel
The days I have to buy lunch are just that much worse and disorienting.
Pikka
None of these are instant.
AcadianBacon
And before using DIY, people used the term 'recipe'.
dantm
Except the amount of time to eat the tiny portion.
tarataqa
Step 1: find cooked noodles
Teddysan
Playing Skyrim for 90 hours has prepared me, you'll find freshly cooked noodles in a tomb five miles north that's been sealed for centuries
Aelinsaar
This made me genuinely laugh at loud.
AnActualDuck
Those tombs are sealed for freshness.
