Ahh, ramen. The mere mention of the word turns heads from Hawaii Pacific University to Florida State.
With classes tragically starting up again, students nationwide are stocking up on bulk orders of America's favorite 11-cent microwaveable noodles.
The key to a successful ramen dish is all in the preparation. Here are some important factors to consider:
- Make sure to get vegan ramen noodles! Watch out for the notorious Maruchan brand (now with extra chicken fat). Stick with Nissin Top Ramen Oriental Flavor for maximum deliciousness.
- Think outside of the box (or bag, as the case may be). Ramen can be used in far more extravagant dishes, including Ancient Japanese Noodle Secret Salad, Rent's Due "Cheezy" Ramen, and Freshasaurus Mex Ramen Casserole (all highlighted in PETA's Vegan College Cookbook).
- Take pictures! By posting your creations on Facebook, you can show your friends that being vegan is not only cheap and easy, but delicious too (this is called "snacktivism").
Bon appetit!

the one problem with all that vegan recepies is that in other countries (like mine) we dont have things like sloppy joe sauce, ramen, vegan mayo, vegan parmesan.... so it makes it knd of hard to be a vegan as it is, or follow these recepies

I don't use the seasoning that comes with it.
I use seasoning salt, garlic salt, and franks redhot sauce.
i add hot sauce to myy ramen noodies with vegetable stock instead of chicken or beef stock
I am not sure if this is vegan but there is a cup of noodle type thing that comes in a paper cup and is vegetable broth flavor it is hard to find but it is kosher.

Posted by: Kate Dogg at August 26, 2009 7:13 PMI agree with Michelle, I can´t find half on the ingridients of each recepie in my country, I´m vegan but really I have lots of problems triying to find tasty things to eat, I have to eat only toffu and vegetables :(
Posted by: Laus at August 26, 2009 9:47 PMIf you're in the UK, Sainsbury's sell their own brand of packet noodles for just 10p, and they're vegan! They taste ok on their own (with the seasoning provided) but just add a little sauce and they're lovely!

LOVE IT!!! Whole Foods also has an off-brand of Ramen that is all organic and vegan and really good! They are about $1 a package there.
