🍲 Ingredients
Sambal Oelek – This Indonesian chili sauce/paste adds the perfect kick to these vegan garlic noodles.

👩🍳 How to Make Vegan Garlic Noodles
- Cook ramen noodles as instructed on the packet.
- Heat a medium-size pan on medium. To the pan add coconut oil, garlic and green onion. Heat for 3-4 minutes. To the pan add soy sauce, sambal oelek, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil. Stir and cook till the sauce begin to thicken.
- Transfer strained/cooked noodles to the pan and cook for 2 minutes till the sauce has seeped into each pore of the noodles.
- Serve with more green onions, toasted sesame seeds and ginger chili oil.
🪄Tips and Tricks
- Noodles: Cook noodles just until al dente as they’ll continue cooking in the sauce.
- Garlic: Don’t rush the garlic cooking process – those 3-4 minutes develop crucial flavor.
- Sauce: If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of reserved noodle cooking water.
🗒 Substitutions
- Noodles: While ramen works perfectly, you can substitute with soba, udon, or rice noodles (for a gluten-free option).
- Heat Level: Adjust sambal oelek amount based on your spice preference, or substitute with sriracha.
- Soy Alternative: Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.
- Oil Options: If you don’t have coconut oil, neutral vegetable oil works well for cooking the garlic.
🗒 Best served with
- Vegan Potstickers
- Garlic Confit
- Vegan Ramen
👝 How to Store Leftovers
These vegan garlic noodles are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of water and gently warm on the stovetop for best results.
🤔 Common Questions
Absolutely! Broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, or mushrooms would all be excellent additions. Sauté them just before adding the sauce ingredients
The recipe, as written, is not gluten-free due to the use of ramen noodles and soy sauce. For a gluten-free version, use rice noodles and tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
With the standard amount of sambal oelek, they have a moderate heat level. You can easily adjust by reducing the amount for less spice or adding more for extra heat.
While you can sauté the garlic and green onions in water or vegetable broth instead of oil, the sesame oil is crucial for the authentic flavor. Consider reducing it rather than eliminating it completely.
For a more substantial meal, add tofu , tempeh, or edamame. Simply cook your protein of choice separately and toss with the finished noodles.
