Vegan Sweet & Spicy Ramen Noodle Bowl

Vegan Sweet & Spicy Ramen Noodles

This noodle bowl came together so beautifully and I actually couldn’t believe it because I am not always the best at these types of recipes. But my husband is a tough critic and he gave it 5 stars so… here we are! It has very quickly made its way into our monthly dinner rotation.

Don’t be afraid of the ingredient list – it looks a little intimidating, I know. There are a few parts but they come together very simply and to be honest, I prepped throughout the day so dinner came together so quickly when it was time. My daughter naps for about 90 minutes every morning so I quickly prepped the sauce in a mason jar and chopped the veggies and put in the fridge for later. Then I quickly baked the tofu and did the same. By the time dinner came around way later, all I had to do was boil the water for the 3-minute ramen noodles and toss everything else into a wok to cook down. So I swear, it is worth the bit of effort and totally doable for busy people with a little prep beforehand (morning before or even night before!)


Recipe

You will need:

For tofu:

  • Firm tofu
  • Oriental Five Spice

For sauce:

  • 1/3 cup tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp Oriental Five Spice
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (optional heat)
  • Salt (to taste)

For veggies/noodles:

  • 2 packages of cooked Ramen noodles (no sauce packet)
  • 2 cups bok choy, roughly chopped
  • 1 carrot, shaved or grated into matchsticks
  • 1 onion, sliced thin
  • 1 can of baby corn

To make:

For the tofu:

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Squeeze moisture out of tofu if necessary.

  • Shake it up and set aside.

Pulling it together:

  • In a wok, add a little coconut oil before adding in all your veggies.
  • Sauté for about 3 minutes before adding your sauce. Continue to toss every few minutes.
  • While veggies are cooking down with the sauce, prepare ramen according to package (without the sauce packet).
  • Once noodles are done and veggies are cooked down, add noodles and toss well.
  • Top with extra sriracha (if that is your thing) and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
