The main components of tan tan ramen are typically ramen noodles, toppings like stir-fried vegetables, ground meat and a soup base (traditionally made with chicken or pork broth) which is why I’m sharing my vegan tan tan ramen recipe for you to make! 🙂

What’s great about this vegan recipe is you can control the spice level! The dish can vary in spiciness, depending on the amount of chili oil and other spices you want to use.

How To Make Tan Tan Ramen?

First, find Instant ramen that is vegan! Many instant ramen noodles don’t have any animal products in them but always look at the ingredient list just to make sure. The package of Mr Noodles Vegetable Flavour Instant noodles I use is vegan.

To make tan tan ramen, you want to prepare your vegan “ground meat” alternative. If using soy chunks, rehydrate them in broth & allow them to soak. Then toss them with soy sauce, and fry them in hot oil until they are slightly crispy. Set aside. Next cook your ramen, and vegetables and make your soup base. In your ramen-sized bowl, add your vegan meat substitute with your veggies and ramen noodles. Pour the broth (soup base) over the ramen and voila! That’s how you make tan tan ramen!
