Ingredients

Units Scale

Noodles

  • 2 packages (about 6 oz) instant ramen noodles (discard flavor packets)

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 12 teaspoons sriracha (to taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Veggies & Toppings

  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cups baby spinach or bok choy
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
