How do you make Vegan Ramen Noodles? 

What I love about this recipe is how quick it is to pull together. It’s also loaded with flavour from the peanut sauce, which I absolutely love. The sauce you can even make a big batch and keep in a container in your fridge for up to a week. It’s great on stirfrys, and basically anything you like! 

Okay, here’s a play-by-play of how to make this yummy homemade Vegan Ramen Noodle recipe: 

1. In a frying pan, heat up your coconut and sesame oil before adding garlic and ginger and cooking for 1 minute
2. Throw in all your veggies – get creative here and use up what you have in your fridge 
3. Cook veggies down for 5-7 minutes. If you want to speed up this process, add a ladle of water to the pan and place the lid on 
4. Meanwhile, cook ramen noodles as instructed on package
5. When everything is all cooked up, combine it all together and top with cilantro and green onions 

How do you make vegan peanut sauce?

If you read the above, you’re probably wondering what about the peanut sauce!? Well to make that, follow this recipe here. Essentially it’s super easy. All you’ll do is add all your ingredients into a jar and shake it all up until combined. Set the sauce for 15 minutes or longer and let it sit to get that perfect creamy consistency. 

What really brings the flavour to this Vegan Peanut Sauce is not just the obvious peanut butter, but the other ingredients such as: 

• Spicy sesame oil
• Lime juice
• Tamari
• Ginger
• Garlic
• Sambal chilli paste

I promise you’ll love this stuff!

Does vegan tuna really exist? 

Yep, you bet your butt it does! Vegan tuna is one of my fav ways to add protein into my diet as it’s totally different and adds a different flavour than typical plant-based proteins. I use Good Catch Foods tuna for this recipe and always have some in my pantry as it’s great to throw in salads, pastas, or other recipes. 

Good Catch Foods makes a variety of different vegan tuna products that are made out of a blend of plant proteins such as: 

• Chickpeas
• Soy
• Peas
• Lentils
• Fava beans
• Navy beans

Their products are super easy to use and you can easily eat them on their own, or throw it into any recipe, or Asian inspired recipe like this one. I have a few ideas for recipes you can make with their products linked below. 

What can you make with vegan tuna? 

• Curried Tuna Stuffed Potato
• Easy Asian-Style Tuna Lettuce Wraps
• Vegan Mediterranean Tuna Salad
• The Best Vegan Tuna Cheese Ball
• Cheesy Vegan Tuna Casserole
