What You Will Need:

1 1/2 tablespoons of peanut butter
1 teaspoon of Szechuan peppercorns
1 teaspoon of Chinese vinegar
2 tablespoons of vegan oyster sauce
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
1 clove of garlic grated
1 teaspoon of grated ginger
1 teaspoon or more of gochujang paste or sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon of sugar

Combining the Vegan Ramen Sauce Ingredients

There really isn’t anything to put the sauce together. Just add the ingredients to a bowl that is big enough and combine. The sauce is very concentrated and thick and needs to be refrigerated and is good for a couple of weeks. Most of the ingredients can be found at your local Asian grocery store, and vegan oyster sauce can be ordered online and can be found at Whole Foods. The gochujang sauce can be replaced by sriracha sauce or your favorite hot sauce. You can also just leave it out if you do not like any heat.

Using the Sauce

It is important to not include the seasoning packet that comes with ramen noodles when cooking them. The extra seasoning will make the vegan ramen sauce taste very odd, not to mention very salty. The sauce recipe can be stored and used whenever the urge rises for a nice bowl of noodles. This is a vegetarian ramen sauce and can be used with meat too. I have used this with tofu, chicken, and pork also. It really brings a big flavor to whatever you use it with!
