13 - 1 tablespoon tomato paste
14 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
15 - 1 teaspoon sugar
16 - 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

→ Cheese & Toppings

19 - 3.5 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
20 - 1.75 oz parmesan cheese, grated
21 - Fresh basil or cilantro leaves, for garnish
22 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

# Directions:

01 - Heat sesame oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add ground pork or chicken, breaking it apart while cooking. Stir in soy sauce and chili paste, then cook until meat is nicely browned, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
02 - Using the same skillet, add chopped onion, minced garlic, and julienned carrot. Sauté until vegetables are softened and aromatic, about 4 minutes.
03 - Stir in miso paste, tomato paste, soy sauce, sugar, and rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly before pouring in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer.
04 - Arrange layers in each jar by spooning some broth and vegetables on the bottom. Add broken lasagne sheet pieces and a portion of ramen noodles. Top with cooked meat, baby spinach, shredded mozzarella, and a bit more broth. Continue layering until jars are filled, finishing with additional broth and a sprinkle of grated parmesan.
05 - Cover jars loosely and transfer to a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C). Bake for 20 minutes or until pasta is fully tender and cheese is melted.
06 - Carefully remove jars from oven. Garnish each with sliced spring onions, fresh basil or cilantro leaves, thinly sliced red chili, and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot for best flavor and texture.
