There’s something about enjoying a warm and comforting bowl of noodles in a rich and tasty broth. I personally love noodles soups and ramen any time of the year – even in the middle of summer when I have to sweat through the preparation of a bowl! It’s still worth it regardless. These are also relatively easy to prepare and are great for those easy meals on busy days.
These are Vegan Ramen and Noodle Soup Recipes you need to try from my website. The list is ever growing and these recipes are from a few years back up until the first quarter of 2024.

There are days when I crave thick chewy udon noodles and rich, thick sauce so this Easy Saucy Udon Noodles recipe was born. The udon noodles are cooked in this thick, flavorful sauce packed with vegetables and protein of your choice.
The sauce is inspired by thick Chinese birthday noodle sauces we make at home and is thickened with some corn starch for more body to better coat the noodles.
INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED UDON
2 servings frozen sanuki udon
SAUCE

This recipe is easy to put together and requires 1 pan (or pot) plus an oven or air fryer to cook the chickpeas!

These Miso Garlic King Oyster Mushrooms are inspired by the grilled king oyster mushrooms at Taiwanese night markets. I sliced the mushrooms into 2-inch thick pieces that made the mushrooms pieces appear like scallops.
I then seared these to release excess moisture before cooking down the mushroom “scallop” pieces in an umami sweet-savory sauce with white miso paste, sake, mirin, soy sauce, and sugar. I then finished the mushrooms with vegan butter and garlic. Topped these with furikake and chives then served it over rice.

This Chinese Hot Pot Sauce is an integral part of the hot pot experience. A lot of Chinese hot pot or shabu-shabu places offer sauce stations where you can prepare your own dipping sauce.
HOT POT OR SHABU-SHABU SAUCE
My easy homemade sauce is a rich mix of Chinese sesame paste, Chinese black vinegar, soy sauce, veg oyster sauce, sugar, chili oil, garlic, green onions, and a few other ingredients that make this sauce incredibly fragrant and tasty. Dipping pieces of cooked vegetables or tofu into this sauce is makes it so addicting.

This Dan Dan-Style Udon recipe is inspired by (as the name suggests) Chinese Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles! I put together the rich and spicy sauce I love from dan dan noodles with chewy Japanese sanuki udon to create an incredibly satisfying recipe. These Dan Dan-Style Udon Noodles are easy to make – just mix the sauce, stir-fry the tofu (which you can do in advance) to make the mince, prepare the udon, and put everything together!
DAN DAN NOODLES
Dan Dan Noodles are from Chinese Sichuan cuisine distinct for its rich, spicy, and numbing sauce – the numbing heat from Sichuan peppercorns.

These mushroom rice burgers with sriracha mayo are inspired by those from Mos Burger, a Japanese food chain serving rice burgers. The rice buns are brushed with soy sauce and toasted until crisp and filled with mushrooms that are seared then cooked in a sweet-savory sauce.
The mushrooms are served with fresh lettuce and a generous dollop of sriracha mayo for some richness and extra flavor.
