IngredientsIf you’re going to add extra protein, you’ll want to cook and prepare this first, before you make your Super Noodles, however, any sauces and toppings can be added once your noodles come out of the microwave. Super Noodle flavours Five varieties of Super Noodles are labelled as vegetarian, whilst the others may contain flavourings that are made from animals or may be contaminated with fish or shellfish.

It could be the case that the cross-contamination with fish and shellfish is to such an extent that these varieties of Super Noodles cannot be considered to be suitable for vegetarians. Conclusion An easy, one-pan recipe. The aromatic, bright, and vibrant red curry sauce comes together in a wok on the stove. Toss in the rice noodles and dinner is on the table in about 15 minutes! Things like soy sauce, for instance, in theory could be non-vegan. The same with maltodextrin and sugar.

Which Pot Noodle Flavours Are Vegan?

So, whilst Super Noodles are not labelled as vegan, there are three flavours that may be considered vegan-friendly – Chow Mein, Peri Peri and Mild Curry. Most vegans accept that it’s standard for food factories to produce vegan and non-vegan items. Whether you choose to eat food that has not been prepared in a dedicated vegan environment is your decision. For instance, the Beef and Tomato (which does not contain beef), Sweet and Sour, and Chinese Chow Mein flavours do not list milk or milk-derived items specifically amongst their ingredients. As such, there are two possible reasons why the makers of Pot Noodle do not claim most flavours to be vegan: Coconut milk. Canned full fat coconut milk is the secret to a luscious and creamy sauce. It also tones down the heat from the red curry paste. But there is nothing present there that is definitely not vegan. The other possibility, as with Pot Noodles, is the possibility of cross-contamination during the manufacturing process. Many of them carry warnings such as “May also contain Crustaceans, Fish, Milk, Molluscs”, any of which would make them non-vegan. But many vegans disregard such warnings (though if you have allergic reactions to any of these things, it is better to avoid the products in question).

Heat the curry paste in a wok over medium-high heat. Next, add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant. Turn down the heat and stir in the coconut milk. When you see ‘flavouring’ on a list of ingredients, it can mean anything. Sometimes flavourings are natural, like lemon zest, other times they are artificial and made from chemicals like petroleum. Some natural flavourings are made from meat and meat by-products. Quite how the risk of cross-contamination varies between the certified-vegan Miso option and the other flavours is unclear, so we think this is a product where you will have to make your own mind up really! Which Pot Noodle Flavours Are Vegan?

As a responsible manufacturer, we are committed to providing accurate information on the labelling of our products. First of all, you’ll want to boil your kettle (or you can boil water on the hob if you’d prefer). Add your super noodles into a big bowl, break them up and season with the sachet that comes with your flavour. This is also a great chance to add additional flavour or seasoning, such as chilli flakes if you like your noodles spicy. Next, put your bowl in the microwave and cook for a few minutes. If you’re using the hob you can just put your noodles and seasoning straight into the pan instead. For the ultimate curry fix, use these noodles as a base for paneer tikka masala or an eggplant curry. Garlic. The first of the two aromatics. Fresh garlic cloves give the red curry sauce a savory baseline of flavor. Noodle dishes are some of my favorites because they come together so easily and always feature a layered, flavorful sauce. These red curry noodles are no different! It’s an easy Thai-inspired recipe that puts red curry sauce-coated rice noodles on display.

One thing the Miso Noodle flavour does not contain, though, is palm oil. Could this be the ingredient that Unilever think is stopping most Pot Noodles being vegan? We doubt it, as palm oil is actually classed as vegan by PETA. Use metallic tongs to toss the noodles with the sauce to ensure they are evenly coated so every bite is a flavor explosion.
