Nothing beats a slurpy bowl of noodles. This easy peanut butter ramen is a fun and easy take on the classic ramen we all know and love. Of course this is not an authentic ramen recipe but just a fun way to enjoy this meal. It comes together super quickly and it is awesome for weeknight dinners.

What Ramen Is Vegan?

There are a lot of options for vegan ramen noodles. It is usually the seasoning packets that you can’t use but for this recipe it doesn’t matter because we don’t need it anyway. I am always looking for ways to incorporate more plant protein so I have been loving this vegan protein ramen from Immi Eats. If you want gluten free ramen noodles, I suggest the Lotus Foods Brown Rice & Millet, they are delicious. Another great option is the Right Foods Vegan Chicken Ramen. Of course another great place to go is to a local Asian market if you have one and get some fresh ramen noodles. Just be sure to always double check the ingrediets.

Peanut Butter Broth

I love peanut noodles. So, I really wanted this soup to feel like peanut noodles with a slurpy broth and I am so happy with the result. The broth is made by first sautéing green onions, garlic, and ginger. Then you add in peanut butter, soy sauce, and agave or maple syrup. Let that mix together and just add in water. The broth is so delicious and flavorful.

Crispy Tofu

I love crispy tofu. It is so easy to make and aways great for topping pretty much anything with. To make it all you need to do is spray with a cooking oil spray, sprinkle some garlic powder, and salt and then bake until crispy. It is so easy to make. If you have a soy allergy I have been really loving the Big Mountain Soy-Free Tofu. It is made from fava beans and it is so good. For this recipe I used super firm tofu it is my favorite but you can use extra firm tofu too.
