When I was in college it was a running joke that we all lived off of ramen packets and French fries. It was, and still is classic campus cuisine– cheap, easy to make, and tastes pretty good after a big night out, or a long haul of studying. So, in my pursuit of creating vegan college dorm-friendly recipes I couldn’t very well leave it out, could I?

This recipe uses the infamous ramen noodle, but with a delicious twist that requires you to toss out that stupid MSG-laden flavor packet. That’s right; just toss it, because I’ve got something way better for ya. A spicy, tangy almond butter sauce that will take your ramen from sad to rad in just a few minutes. Did I mention that by adding fresh veggies, I just made your ramen 100% healthier?! Woo Hoo! Healthy Ramen!
