Servings

This recipe includes the ingredient amounts for one cup noodles recipe. For multiple servings multiple the ingredient amount by the number of servings desired (don't forget to add the number of jars needed).

Gluten-free ramen

There are multiple brands of gluten-free ramen. The brand we use is Lotus Foods. We've made both types: the Jade Pearl and we've made the Millet and Brown Rice type for these Ramen Noodle Cups.

They sell the Millet and Brown Rice in 2.8 ounce packets which are the perfect size for noodle cups. They are readily available at grocery stores, Costco and online at Amazon.com. If making gluten-free cup of noodles be sure to use gluten-free low sodium tamari too.
