Does all ramen have some kind of meat in it or are there some flavors that don't have meat in it? I heard that there are also "vegan friendly" ramen brands out there, is that true? If so, what are they called??

Oriental Top Ramen is vegan

This one.

Dr. McDougall's and Koyo Asian also make vegan ramen, but they're not my favorite. I'm partial to the junky ones I grew up with

In addition to what's already been mentioned, Annie Chun makes vegan ramen and soup bowls too. You can also find ones in Asian supermarkets that are vegan.

Dr. McDougal's "Chicken" Ramen is my favorite.

Maruchan mushroom flavor ramen doesn't have meat in it.

Hmmm, never seen that one before. Are you sure there's no beef/chicken fat in it? Most of them have it.

Your avatar is funny, btw

It looks like the mushroom flavor is vegetarian but not vegan. I've never seen it in stores, though!

Here are the ingredients:

I wonder if the Maruchan mushroom was discontinued or something, I don't see it on their site. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Shin cups are these UBER spicy Korean ramen cups. Vegan and VERY good.

I think I've seen those before. Where do you get them?

 

[AndrewFL]

Walmart! Theyre like 99cents. Theyre in a red and black cup if I remember correctly.

This says theyre flavored with beef, but the ingredient list doesnt say anything about that.

are you sure?
I remember, a few years back, my friend (a new vegetarian at the time) made the same statement about the same product, and when I checked myself, I found some meat flavoring.
Look again, and make sure you read all the ingredients on the back. If I remember correctly, there's two lists - it's not on the first, but on the second.
Granted, they could have changed it since, but you can never be too safe.

But I hate Wal-Mart

I'll check my local grocery store for them today and if I don't find them, I'll have my bf buy them for me

When I did an online search, I saw that too. I always read the label to be safe.

Positive. The website confirms their veganness. A lot of people call all ramen noodles top ramen, so maybe the bag you read wasn't Top Ramen brand. The oriental Maruchan contains beef powder.

I'll second this, I'm holding a pack in my hand right now. Definitely vegan.

 

[danakscully64]

I went to the store yesterday and bought 8 packets of Oriental Top Ramen, all vegan

No Shin cups, so I'll ask my bf to scope out WM for them. Got one of these instead, there was a $1 off coupon on it, so it was $3.

I LOVE noodles. I could seriously eat them alllll day.

I went to Wal-Mart today (ew) and they only had the packets of ramen, not vegan. Are you SURE the ones you got were vegan?

 

[AndrewFL]

Yup.
