We absolutely love this recipe from Serious Eats by J. Kenji López-Alt.
These “Just-Add-Hot-Water Instant Noodles” are super simple, cheap, and delicious. It includes fresh chinese-style noodles (or dry rice noodles), kimchi, shitake mushrooms, bouillon, and beef jerky! Safely store scallions in a BNTO to be added after boiling water - and enjoy!

Weight Weight… Don’t Tell Me!
California became the first state to place an outright ban on plastic bags last week. This is an awesome step forward in reducing the waste that comes from the single-use items which are an unfortunate part of many people’s daily habits. Kudos Cali!
In light of this, we decided to look at some of the other usual suspects that contribute to our nation’s sky-rocketing municipal solid waste problem. But first, some statistics:

While it would be wonderful to think that every recyclable item gets recycled, and every compostable thing gets composted - it’s simply not the case. Look in any public waste receptacle for proof. MSW or ‘municipal solid waste’ is how we measure trash and it’s a numbers game based on weight. A single-use plastic bag comes in at 0.2 ounces.
Here’s how some ordinary beverage containers weigh in:
Ditching disposable bags is a great start, but bags pail in comparison to single-use cups that can weigh more than 4x as much.
BUT… there’s good news! With cups, just like bags, there is a simple solution: BRING. YOUR. OWN. A single person using a reusable cup on a daily basis can prevent pounds of waste from ending up in landfills in a single year.
So B.Y.O. and be the change!
It is #NationalCoffeeDay! Woo!
Showering brown beans with praise and hashtags is fun an all - but today more than ever it is super important that we also take an honest look at the waste associated with our favorite daily habit.
It’s alarming, we know! But the good news is there is an easy fix. Here it is:
Get a reusable cup, and reuse it again and again.

Introducing: The Mason Tap
The Mason Tap is a unique pour spout that fits any regular mouth mason jar. Made in the USA from high quality stainless steel and finished with a handcrafted flip cap, the Mason Tap can handle anything from salad dressing to infused waters, oils or spirits.
Developed by our friends W&P Design, the same great team that brought us The Mason Shaker, The Mason Tap is available today through Cuppow!
More than anything, The Mason Tap is a tool to empower home cooks and drink enthusiasts to have some fun creating their own infusions using a simple lid and any regular mouth jar. We love enabling the inner creative in the kitchen and, as always, helping you do more with less!
