About the recipe

These bone broth 2-minute noodles are a nourishing, additive-free twist on the classic comfort food. Packed with gut-loving broth, hidden veggies, and customisable toppings, they’re the perfect quick meal for kids—or tired parents!

I’ve been making these nourishing 2-minute noodles for my kids for years, and they’ve become an absolute staple in our home.

My daughter is obsessed—she asks for “bone broth noodles” constantly. They’re warm, comforting, and come together in minutes. Plus, it’s one of the easiest ways to sneak in a gut-loving dose of bone broth, especially when the kids are a bit under the weather, low on appetite, or just hangry after school.

Perfect for lunchboxes (in a thermos), sick days, after-school snacks, or quick toddler dinners—and yes, just as satisfying for grown-ups too.

No nasties, no preservatives—just real food, ready in under five minutes.

Age suitable:

Suitable from 12 months+, depending on noodle shape and salt content of broth. Cut noodles shorter for babies or toddlers still learning to chew.

Storage tips:

Lunchbox: Prepare and store in a thermos to stay warm until lunchtime
Leftovers: Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours and reheated with a splash of water or extra broth

Ingredients

250 ml hot bone broth (see notes)

1 serve noodles (mie goreng, ramen, rice or vermicelli)

1/4 cup frozen mixed vegetables

Optional Add-ins:

1 spring onion, finely sliced

2 tsp butter

1 sheet toasted seaweed, torn

1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

1 tsp sesame oil

1 handful cooked protein (shredded chicken, tofu, beef strips, omelette strips)

Method

Heat the bone broth until boiling—either on the stovetop or in the microwave. If using powdered broth, boil the kettle.

Place noodles, frozen veg, and any optional add-ins into a heatproof jar, bowl, or thermos. (If using powdered broth, sprinkle it over the noodles now.)

Pour the hot broth over everything, cover with a lid or plate, and let sit for 3–4 minutes until noodles are tender and the veggies have softened.

Give it a stir, season to taste, and enjoy your nourishing, flavour-packed noodles!

Ingredient swaps & notes:

Bone broth:

Use 250 ml homemade broth, store-bought (like Undivided Food Co), or mix 250 ml boiling water with 2 tsp powdered broth (Nutra Organics works well)

Noodles:

Choose your fave—egg noodles, rice noodles, bean vermicelli, ramen, or mie goreng (we love the ones from Part & Parcel)

Veggies:

Frozen mixed veg, corn, peas, edamame, or finely sliced capsicum all work beautifully

Add-ons:

Top with seaweed, spring onion, sesame oil, chilli oil, butter, or a protein of choice (like shredded chicken, tofu or omelette strips)

Allergen swaps:

  • Gluten-free: Use rice or bean noodles + GF tamari
  • Dairy-free: Omit butter or swap for olive oil
  • Egg-free: Avoid egg noodles and choose rice or vermicelli instead
