So in love with this creative gorgeous pot oodle this is so convenient to take to work, a friends or if you are out for the day, minutes to assemble the jar at home and you can do it a few days before you need it then all you need to turn this in to your oodle is a kettle of boiling water or a flask with hot chicken or vegetable stock, ta-da!  Lots of different flavour combinations so you will never get bored of this super pot oodle.

INGREDIENTS

(makes one)

1 kilner jar

handful of peas

small handful beansprouts

little spinach

a few Julienne slices of carrot

a few slices of red cabbage

few slices of red peppers

1 red chilli sliced

1 spring onion sliced

3 mangetout sliced

1 radish julienne sliced

2 sprigs coriander

salt & black pepper

1/2 jelly stock pot in jar or

300ml hot chicken stock 

The key to a quick assembly is in the preparation, if I am going to be slicing some vegetables I will slice around three times the amount I need, these I place in glass storage containers with a lid in the fridge and call my antioxidant boxes, in these containers as a rule, ready to go I have sliced peppers, onions, garlic, chilli, mangetout, carrot, cabbage and radish.  I also blanch 2-3 portions of asparagus at a time so again they are ready to add to a salad or eggs.

Just fill your kilner jar with all the ingredients, adding or changing the ingredients to your own taste, for a successful pot oodle make sure all the ingredients are the sliced or julienned really thin, this is so they will cook in a couple of minutes in the hot stock.

Take your jar with you and when you are ready to eat, either pour over your hot stock from your flask or if you have added 1/2 a jelly stock to your pot oodle just add approx 300ml boiling water, close the lid and gently turn the jar a little to distribute the hot stock evenly and leave for a couple of minutes to cook the super thin vegetables then tuck in and enjoy.

Variations with this can be anything you like, for example I sometimes add Chinese five spice and a dash of paleo soy sauce, or sometimes a little chicken and some curry powder, I have also had this tom yum style with tom yum paste, tamarind, lemongrass, ginger and harissa paste, just start plain and then play.
