With two children under five and a job to boot, my ramen on-the-go noodles are perfect for weekday work lunches, or a quick weekday dinner - even the kids think this is fabulous! Plus brownie points, because I can prepare the ingredients ahead, and Massel's chicken liquid stock added to miso paste makes it extra flavourful and tastes just like the ones we get from the shops.
