Hi, thanks for your question. We wouldn't recommend keeping this in a Thermos as rice noodles shouldn't be kept cooked and warm for long periods of time for food safety reasons. The soup base without the noodles would be fine in a thermos. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Hi, we don't recommend reheating rice noodles. You could make the soup base to either reheat or freeze and then cook the noodles just before serving. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Very tasty for something so easy. Could definitely use some more veg (I added spring onion and that still wasn't enough) and padded it out with a lot of peanuts.

Personally, I think a little less noodle and a little more mushroom/leek was needed and maybe some soya beans or something too.

Apart from that, timings were spot on and it was very enjoyable.
