I used tofu and it was delicious BUT since all of it was cold due to being in the fridge the boiling water did nothing for the noodles because it brought the temperature down immediately. I work from home so I just emptied it into a pot and heated it that way. I wouldn’t put boiling water into a cold mason jar because at anytime they can break from time to time so my suggestion is if you try and make this in the jar - stick it under the faucet and let the warm water prepare it for the boiling water. Some will say they have never had that happen .. never say never.

It was tasty but the jar was too big to eat out of, and it was to much and messy to put in a bowl.

Love this. Better to prepare in advance but love the results and mixing new flavours together. Also love the novelty of eating out of a jar
