We cannot wholeheartedly label Shin Ramyun as vegetarian friendly, as the vague labelling of these artificial ingredients mean that there may still be traces of meat-based flavoring present in the product. Some Samyang Ramen noodle variants gain this chicken flavoring from artificial flavors rather than being directly chicken-based.
However, Nongshim does offer alternative products to instant noodle lovers that are either vegan or vegetarian. Soon Veggie Noodle Soup is made with 100% vegan ingredients. Instead of a meat-based flavored broth, Soon Veggie’s broth is vegetable-based, meaning you can enjoy the delicious flavors of instant ramen without worrying about breaking your diet!
