    Vegan Tom Kha Gai Ramen

    June 14, 2017 by Lauren Hartmann 13 Comments

    *This post may contain affiliate links in the recipe card*

    Maybe you haven’t heard, but I am madly in love with Thai food! It sets my heart aflame. I must say, my Tom Kha Gai game is strong! This Ramen is a marriage of two of my favorite things, and it is perfect in every way. A luscious coconut and lemongrass broth with ramen noodles! This meal is super healthy and super easy.

    This soup takes about 15 to 20 minutes to make and is the perfect weeknight meal. This is also something that would be great for a weekday lunch. Prep the broth and put it in a container leaving the ramen noodles separate. Microwave it at work with the noodles, and bam! A great healthy lunch in the office.

    I love to grow lemongrass in my yard. It grows really fast and furious. I can use it for all kinds of awesome stuff! Teas, broths, stir fry! It is so fragrant and amazingly delicious! It is perfect in this soup with the ginger and coconut milk. I can just go pick some from the yard and make this soup whenever I want!

    I really love soup, but it is usually not as appealing in the summer time. However, this is a super light and refreshing soup that is really filling without making you feel weighed down and super full. Just a beautiful broth made with veggie broth and coconut milk!

    Bust open the lemongrass a bit with the back of a knife and you will smell the most amazing fragrance, thrown into a pan with ginger and lime juice! It is mouth wateringly delicious! There is a Thai restaurant close to us that makes an amazing Tom Kha Gai with tofu! I think, dare I say, I do, love this ramen version more! The best of both Thai and Japanese food! Food love at it’s best!

    • Then strain out the lemongrass and green onions. Then, add the coconut milk, soy sauce, and agave or coconut sugar. Bring back up to a simmer stirring to combine.

    Notes

    You can use regular packages of ramen noodles just throw out the flavor packets. The noodles are vegan, just not the seasoning. Double check to make sure you are getting a brand that has vegan noodles, but most of them are.

          Theres so much meat used in Thai food . Being vegan, I found it difficult to find meatless in Thai restaurants when i lived there for 2 yrs.
          So it surprises me to hear a vegan say they love thai food. I must have been missing something.

            There are sooooo many great vegan Thai dishes! I suppose that they may be more Americanized Thai dishes that are vegan, but any restaurant I’ve been to has a million tofu options, then I always check any make sure there is no fish sauce or anything like that in the sauce and they are actually vegan, but I’ve never had a hard time! I hope that helps, when in doubt, I just ask my server!:)

      Hi, this looks amazing but I am new to cooking Thai food. Can you direct me to what kind of Ramen noodles to look for in the store? Are they flavored or plain? Any help would be appreciated!

        I just buy plain ramen noodles. I often get them at my local Asian market, but most of them are vegan. You can also buy certified vegan and/or gluten free ones online. I really like Lotus Foods Ramen noodles. They have all different kinds!

      I just made this for dinner and it’s sooooooo good!! This is my first time making Tom Kha or ramen. I love them both and always get them at restaurants but this was so easy and delicious. Thank you for all the amazing recipes. Everything you post on Instagram makes my mouth water. Can’t wait for your cookbook!

      We laughed, we cried, we slurped, we died ~gone to heaven~

      This is our absolute favorite ramen. My omni boyfriend actually had tears in his eyes whilst eating the soup.
