    Our family could eat noodles everyday and never get sick of them.

    My husband and kids love noodles because they are flavorful and fun to eat.

    I love noodles because they are quick to prepare and make the perfect base for a well balanced meal.

    We currently are loving these Quick and Easy Vegan Ramen Noodles, these Vegan Soba Noodles with Almond Butter and today's recipe for Quick Asian Ramen Noodles.

    Guys, these asian ramen noodles take about 15 minutes from START TO FINISH!

    Can I hear an amen!?

    Let me show you how to make them!

    Ingredients You'll Need for Vegan Ramen Noodles

    Not only is this ramen noodle recipe super quick to prepare, it also doesn't require a ton of ingredients.

    The sauce may have some ingredients that you don't yet have on hand, but I'm sure one you get them in your pantry, you'll use them all the time.

    Let me tell you what you'll need for this recipe.

    Ramen Noodle Sauce Ingredients:

    • Reduced sodium soy sauce
    • Vegetarian oyster sauce
    • Hoisin sauce
    • Mirin

    Asian Noodle Ingredients:

    • Oil (a neutral oil as well as sesame oil)
    • Onion
    • Garlic
    • Protein source (I like vegan beef or tempeh)
    • Water
    • Ramen noodles (seasoning packet discarded)
    • Optional garnishes

    This dish really couldn't be easier to make, so if you're new to the world of ramen noodles, definitely give this recipe a try!

    Are Ramen Noodles Vegan?

    Yes! Most ramen noodles are vegan!

    Ramen noodle packets usually contain a seasoning packet and those aren't always vegan. However, the noodles themselves are usually just made from wheat flour, oil and a few other ingredients.

    I personally like when I'm able to find whole grain ramen noodles, but when I'm in a pinch, any type of ramen noodle should work for this recipe.

    Just don't forget to discard the seasoning packet!

    How to Make Quick Asian Ramen Noodles

    To make this quick and easy (not to mention One-Pot!) Asian Ramen Noodle Recipe, simply follow the step-by-step instructions below.

    • Step 1. Mix together the sauce ingredients. Set them aside.
    • Step 2. Heat the oil in a large wok (or saucepan) over high heat. Add in the sliced onion and garlic and cook for about 1 ½ minutes or until golden.
    • Step 3. Add in the ground "beef" or tempeh and sauté until browned. If using vegan ground beef, use a wooden spoon to break up the meat as you go.
    • Step 4. Pour over the sauce, stir and allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes until the onions and "beef" start to caramelize.
    • Step 5. Push the onions and "beef" to the sides of the wok and pour in the water and press in the ramen noodles. Allow the noodles to cook for about 1 minute on one side before flipping them over to cook another 30-45 seconds on the other side. Separate the noodles once soft and stir everything well to combine.
    • Step 6. Divide the noodles between bowls, top with roasted veggies (if using), optional garnishes and dig in!

    How to Reheat Leftover Ramen Noodles

    Leftover ramen noodles have the tendency to dry out after they sit in the fridge for a while.

    My favorite way to freshen up leftover noodles is to add a splash of vegetable broth to them and then microwave them until hot. The vegetable broth helps rehydrate them and makes them like new!

    Best Garnishes for Noodle Dishes

    I'm all about the garnishes when it comes to noodle dishes.

    A few extra toppings can take simple noodles from "meh" to amazing!

    Some of our favorite garnishes are listed out below:

    • Toasted sesame seeds
    • Green onion
    • Red pepper flakes
    • Sriracha
    • Chili oil
    • Crispy onions
    • Black pepper
    • Seaweed
    • Bean sprouts
    • Chopped roasted peanuts
