    These thick and sticky vegan Hoisin Peanut Ramen Noodles are quick and easy to prepare! Flavorful, simple to customize, and so satisfying. (Gluten-free option.)

    Have 15 minutes? Let's make a satisfying bowl of ramen noodles!

    These thick +sticky Hoisin Noodles are simple but so flavorful. Peanut butter and hoisin sauce join forces for an absolutely delicious sauce to coat the noodles.

    Plus they are easy to assemble, and you can customize as desired.

    It's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, especially when you're short on time or energy.

    Ingredients for Hoisin Noodles

    For this recipe you will combine in a pan or wok:

    • Rice noodles: I use 3 ramen cakes. My favorite is Lotus Foods "Millet & Brown Rice" ramen noodles. Or simply use 8 oz. of your favorite rice noodles. (Or you can substitute udon noodles, fresh noodles, etc.)
    • Green onion (scallion)
    • Sesame seeds
    • Hoisin sauce: Be sure to use one you enjoy as it is most of the flavor in this dish. For a gluten-free hoisin sauce, I use "San-J" brand.
    • Peanut butter: I like creamy and natural best for this recipe. But you could substitute chunky for more texture if you prefer.
    • Pure maple syrup: I use this as a natural sweetener, but feel free to use your own favorite sweetener.
    • Garlic cloves

    Note: You can also include sesame oil, soy sauce or tamari, or rice vinegar if desired.

    Customizing

    Play around to find your favorite flavors. A few suggestions include:

    • Ginger: Add freshly grated ginger to the sauce.
    • Nuts: Top with crushed peanuts or cashews for crunch.
    • Fresh herbs: Garnish your bowl with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
    • Make it spicy: Add sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes to taste.
    • Add a protein: Serve it with Baked Tofu or your own favorite tofu or tempeh. Or your favorite vegan chicken or beef.
    • Vegetables: Serve with sautéed veggies on the side such as shredded carrot, snow peas, cabbage, mung bean sprouts, etc. (Or these saucy Teriyaki Mushrooms with Snow Peas!)

    Storage

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. We find they keep for about 2-3 days.

    Texture note: The noodles will thicken and become sticky as they sit. If reheating leftovers in the microwave, I add a small splash of water to help rehydrate.

      Used regular ramen noodles. This is so much better than the "flavor packets"! Thank you.
