    Tips & Tricks

    Cooking the Ramen Noodles

    If cooked for too long, ramen noodles will become soggy. So, I suggest that you cook your noodles after the veggies - so they aren't sitting around for too long.Then drain the noodles immediately and add to the serving bowls.

    I used dry vegan ramen noodles for this recipe - this brand specifically. But you can also use fresh ramen, if you can get your hands on it!

    These ramen noodles are also great for making udon noodle stir fry!

    How to Cut Bok Choy for Stir Fry

    To prep your bok choy for stir fry:

    1. Trim the bottom off the bok choy - the part that holds all the stalks together.
    2. Slice the leaves from the stalks, and then cut them crosswise into thick strips.
    3. Cut the stalks in half lengthwise, and then chop into ½" pieces.

    Add More Toppings

    You can get as creative as you want with your ramen toppings. In fact, I don't think I've ever made it the same exact way twice!

    It's a lot like making a buddha bowl - mixing up the toppings is half the fun.

    Some great vegan toppings for ramen are:

    • bamboo shoots
    • seaweed strips
    • green onions or leeks
    • fresh corn kernels
    • fresh ginger
    • bean sprouts
    • stir-fried mushrooms

    Like it hot? Add some spicy rayu Japanese chili oil or yuzu kosho, a citrus chili pepper paste.

    Add Protein

    A great way to add some protein to a ramen is by simply adding some tofu.

    Just cut your tofu into small cubes and toss them in the broth to cook, or you can even make some crispy pan-fried tofu for extra texture.

    If you decide to go with the fried tofu, add it to the serving bowls last so it doesn't get soggy.

    Other options for added protein are chickpeas, pepitas, or edamame.
