Pour the full pouch into a microwave-safe bowl or your Huel cup. Before adding water, flip the pack over and check the instructions — different flavors use different amounts of water, so the number on the back is always your starting point. Make sure the bowl is big enough to handle bubbling during cooking.

Loosely cover your bowl with a microwave-safe plate to prevent splatter and help trap the heat. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir well. Microwave for 1 more minute (this guide assumes a 1200W microwave — yours may differ).

When it’s done, keep it covered and forget about it for at least 7 minutes. This is when the noodles and rice cook. Uncover, stir again, and taste. Still firm? Re-cover and rest for another minute. Too thick? Add a small splash of hot water and stir until it looks right for you.
