10 servings of hot and sour soup done quick and with mostly items I already had

Only fresh things bought were the tofu and bok choy. Rest was dried (mushrooms) and corn (frozen) and broth (Better than Bouillon).

Not my recipe. Was inspired by https://www.connoisseurusveg.com/hot-and-sour-soup-with-bok-choy/#recipe and added the corn. Used Sriracha instead of chili sauce. Tofu was air fried instead of pan fried. I made a double batch of this recipe which made 10 large servings.

These will keep in the freezer and will get used in the next few work weeks. What i usually do is make another soup/stew and alternate between the two to keep from getting bored.

The containers are Lock n Lock. Was gifted these over the past few Christmases from parents. I take it to work frozen in an insulated lunch box and microwave at work.

Label is painter tape written in Sharpie. When having multiple items prepped the label really comes in handy.

My lunch for the past few weeks: cheese, carrot, dried mango, everything bagel nuts and an apple

I work so early that half way through my shift is 9am and this takes me all the way to dinner. I like to think of it as a travel charcuterie board.
