Ingredients are the perfect way to determine the answers to “is ramen vegan.” As a rule of thumb, all ramen noodles are made using wheat flour and oil, making them 100% vegan. However, most ramen noodles have additional ingredients that add to the flavor, like salt and potato starch fillers. Sadly, most seasoning packets you purchase with ramen noodles contain ingredients like dehydrated beef extract and powdered beef extract, meaning they are seldom vegan.
