Vegan Korean Corn Cheese Ramen

Korean-Inspired Vegan Corn Cheese ramen

Ever since I saw this video on Buzzfeed Tasty’s Instagram Feed, it’s been living in my head rent-free, so I knew I had to veganize it ASAP. I mean … tell me what sounds better than chewy ramen noodles doused with Korean corn cheese?! (hint: literally NOTHING).

Fast forward, and here I am sharing my version of Korean-Inspired Vegan Corn Cheese Ramen (that’s a mouthful) 😉 The recipe that Buzzfeed posted calls for the flavor packets included in the ramen noodles, but many aren’t vegan-friendly, so I decided to ditch ’em altogether and come up with my own sauce! Of course, I wanted it to be just as easy as making instant ramen, so all you have to do is throw it all into a pan and mix it with broth like you’d typically do anyway.

Vegan Birria Ramen

By 1 Comment

This vegan Birria Ramen is an easy and delicious mashup of two of my favorite foods. Meaty oyster mushrooms are shredded and marinated, then cooked to crispy perfection. Serve atop chewy ramen noodles immersed in rich consomé broth, and topped with vegan cheese, onion, cilantro and lime for a truly addicting, slurpable bowl of goodness!

 Bonus:  If you make my Birria Tacos, just make extra ‘meat’, add a couple more cups of broth to the leftover consomé, and you’ll have Vegan Birria Ramen for the next couple of days!

Ok, no shade to Instant Ramen. It’s delicious and quick and so nostalgic.
