Vegan Instant Ramen (Under 15 Mins)
Vegan instant ramen is an easy meal to make if you’re a student, feeling lazy, low on groceries, or just needing an easy, quick fix for comfort food.
As I do with many classic dishes, today I’m going to level-up a package of vegetable instant noodles and turn it into a quick vegan instant ramen.
This leveled-up instant ramen adds a crazy amount of flavour without adding too much cost or time to making your bowl of soup. This recipe makes a spicy, creamy bowl of noodles that adds nutrients and flavour to a simple meal.

Most instant ramen packages are already vegan, but be sure to check the ingredients or opt for the vegetable flavours. Share with a friend who is feeling under the weather or enjoy on a cloudy day when you need a warmed belly.
I saw a version of this hack on a Korean Tik Tok account and had to try it. Like many Tik Tok recipes, this is an easy bowl made with simple ingredients.

Many vegetable Instant noodles are vegan but always look at the ingredient list just to make sure. The package of Mr Noodles Vegetable Flavour Instant noodles I use is vegan. The ingredients list for the noodles is enriched wheat flour, palm oil, salt, sugar, guar gum, garlic powder. The Soup base ingredients are salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, onion powder, soy sauce powder (soybeans, salt, wheat), vegetable flavour, yeast extract powder (dried bread yeast, water), disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate, caramel, dried leek, celery seed powder, soybean powder, black pepper powder.
