For a friend, student, or the teacher who cooks.

The Golden Savory Ramen Basket is a bowl for a quiet night, not a tin of cookies. The jar does the seasoning. The noodles do the rest. Open it the first evening, or keep the bouillon and cook the noodles when the week gets long.

Inside: two packs of organic ramen noodles, a teaspoon, hand-carved chopsticks, and a hinged jar of Golden Savory bouillon, with a recipe card. The bouillon is what they reach for again. Stir it into the pot when you cook rice, or sprinkle it over chicken before it goes in the oven. The chopsticks are what make it feel like a gift instead of a grocery bag. One pot simmer, stir, eat, then check the recipe card included for the other uses after the noodles are gone.

No stock carton. No packet of salt to hide. Water, the jar, the noodles.
