Before you jump into the kitchen to make this recipe, we suggest you read this blog post carefully. The recipe is simple but there are some steps and tricks to take into account for the best results.

Ingredients

For this recipe, you’ll need five main ingredients: ramen noodles, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vegan oyster sauce, and hot chili sauce. In addition to these staples, you’ll also incorporate some fresh vegetables and an egg substitute. Here’s a complete list of everything you’ll need:

Ramen
Light soy sauce
Dark soy sauce
Vegan oyster sauce
Hot chili sauce
Vegetables (seasonal, to your preference)
Scrambled egg substitute (optional)
Sesame seeds (optional)
Vegetable oil

Substitutes

Have you looked at the ingredient list and realized you’re missing something, or perhaps you want to make a substitution? No problem at all! Here’s what you can easily replace or omit.

Let’s start with the vegetables. You have complete flexibility here. You can substitute or omit any of the vegetables listed in the recipe. We used red peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, and carrots, but feel free to use any seasonal vegetable you enjoy and have on hand. It’s all about making the dish your own!

The egg substitute is a wonderful addition for texture and flavor, but it’s completely optional. If you don’t have it, or prefer to skip it, your ramen will still be delicious.

Regarding the vegan oyster sauce: you can typically find this at any store specializing in Asian cuisine. It’s uniquely made with mushrooms, rather than oysters, offering a fantastic umami punch! The bottle we use (pictured below) often states “vegetarian,” but if you check the ingredients, it is indeed vegan. If you can’t find it, you can simply use one additional tablespoon of light soy sauce to achieve a similar depth of flavor.

Now, let’s talk about the soy sauce. We use two types in this recipe: light and dark. The light soy sauce is the common variety you’ll find in most supermarkets and restaurants. It has a thinner consistency and is saltier than the dark version.

Dark soy sauce, on the other hand, boasts a thick consistency, almost like maple syrup, and a rich, deep flavor. It also gives the dish a beautiful caramel color. If you can’t find dark soy sauce, you can use 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce instead. The final dish will still be delicious, with a similar flavor profile.
