Greens & Noodles
Ingredients:

- ¼ tsp crumbled dried rosemary
- 1 packet lower sodium veggie broth or 1 tsp bouillon

Pack the dry ingredients except for the cheese in a sandwich or quart freezer bag. Pack the cheese in a small bag and tuck in with the ramen.

Insulated mug method:
Add the dry ingredients, broth concentrate and1½ cups boiling water to the mug. Stir well, cover tightly and let sit for 10 minutes. Stir in the cheese.
One pot method:

Notes:
Broth concentrate sticks can be found online at http://www.packitgourmet.com and also at grocery stores. You can use lower sodium bouillon powder instead – add the to the bag of dry ingredients. For the baked ramen, if you cannot find any substitute baked chuka soba (Chinese noodles) for it. Discard the “flavor packet” with the ramen.
