Vegan Ramen with Mushrooms
Vegan Ramen with Mushrooms consists of stir-fried shiitake and chestnut mushrooms in soy sauce served over cooked vegan ramen noodles. The broth combines sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and mushroom stock to create a lightly tangy and umami-rich base.

- Meanwhile, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions (this is usually to boil for 5 minutes).
- For the ramen broth, heat the sweet chilli, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar in a pot over a low heat.
- Stir and heat until it starts to bubble and the sugar dissolves. Stir in the stock/broth and bring it just to the boil. Remove from the heat.

Notes
- Use mushroom or vegetable stock for a flavorful broth; plain water will not provide enough taste.
- Sugar is optional but adds a complementary layer of flavor to the broth.
- Confirm that your ramen noodles are fully vegan by checking packaging labels.
- For more fiber and nutrition, opt for whole-wheat vegan ramen noodles as a substitute.
- Add your favorite vegetables or protein like tofu or chickpeas for variety and additional nutrition.
- Variations include using different hot sauces or blending in peanut butter to create a peanut ramen version.
