• Tofu: I love adding tofu in this soup, as it’s a great and quick protein you don’t have to cook.
• Noodles: I normally use Asian Vermicelli Rice Noodles for this, but I’ve also tried it with cooked angel hair pasta and it turned out amazing!
• Veggies: I like carrots, corn, edamame, green onion, and some fresh herbs in mine… but you can swap anything you have on hand.
• Sesame Oil: for an awesome toasted flavor, I use this sesame oil on more than just ramen; it goes into every stir fry I make!
• Sriracha: just a hint of this sriracha to give this soup a brilliant spicy flavor!
• Lime Juice: Brightens up the flavor and gives some great acidity

A No Cook Work Lunch, Just Add Water to this Ramen!

I love that there is no cooking time in this Low Sodium Ramen Recipe… add all the ingredients, and add hot water to heat.The thin rice noodles cook in the water, and don’t need to be microwaved at all.This is great for the office, as I can use hot water from the coffee machine, and pour it straight in the jar!

Dietary Modifications

• This soup is naturally vegan & vegetarian, but if you aren’t vegan and want to add some cooked meat instead of the tofu go for it.
• This is gluten free, but if you aren’t avoiding gluten then you can swap whole wheat spaghetti instead of the rice noodles, and soy sauce for the tamari.
• This is a low sodium recipe, and has a fraction of the salt of normal ramen! If you aren’t low sodium and want to add a bit more soy sauce or tamari, then feel free to add!

Make Instant Ramen Vegan for a Plant-Based Version

This vegan low sodium ramen is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can.

By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family.
