Instructions

Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, sriracha, minced garlic, and ginger until well combined. Set aside.
Sauté the Veggies: In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, add a splash of oil (optional), then sauté the mushrooms and carrots for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
Add Spinach and Sauce: Add the spinach (or bok choy) to the pan and stir until just wilted. Pour in the prepared sauce and mix to coat the veggies evenly.
Toss in the Noodles: Add the drained ramen noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together so the noodles are fully coated in the sauce and the veggies are evenly distributed.
Finish and Serve: Remove from heat. Top with green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy your saucy vegan ramen noodles!

Notes

You can swap in any quick-cooking veggies you have on hand, such as bell peppers or snap peas.
Adjust the spice level by using more or less sriracha.
For gluten-free, use gluten-free ramen and tamari instead of soy sauce.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 2 days, though noodles may absorb more sauce.
