Vegan Ramyeon is the Korean version of Ramen. Usually it's made with instant noodles and flavourings but we decided we wanted a vegan (and healthy) version.
We originally researched vegan ramyeon because we have a regular documentary night with one of our friends (hi Carly!). We focus the documentary – and food – for each night on a particular country.
When we came up with this dish we were focusing on North Korea, although, actually, this dish is from South Korea, so we cheated a bit!
We served this vegan ramyeon with 'Vegetable Fusion' frozen gyozas by Itsu - and as a combo, it was pretty damn tasty.

This is absolutely scrummy, and so surprisingly easy to make given that you end up with what seems like a really sophisticated ramen dish! Added itsu gyoza and it was incredible.

Got to love the additional gyoza. It's fab to get such a lush dish with such little effort! Thanks for the feedback. Jess x

This is another great recipe from vegan punks, really easy to make as I usually have all these ingredients in, especially the itsu dumplings in the freezer which finish this dish off nicely.
