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 <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> This one.<br><br><img alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TAi8dc5C-S8/TPXQfhwHtnI/AAAAAAAAGDQ/6HBhcfiDDkw/s1600/ramen_oriental.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">

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 <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/tongue3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>

It looks like the mushroom flavor is vegetarian but not vegan. I've never seen it in stores, though!<br><br>
Here are the ingredients:<br><a href="http://www.zeer.com/Food-Products/Maruchan-Mushroom-Flavor-Ramen-Noodle-Soup/000039136" target="_blank">http://www.zeer.com/Food-Products/Ma...Soup/000039136</a>

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?<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
Granted, they could have changed it since, but you can never be too safe.

<br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/yes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":yes:"> 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 <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/lick.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":lick:"> 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.<br><br><img alt="" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51v8JHQxx6L.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br><br>
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.
