Mason Jar Instant Ramen Soup Recipe (Vegan, Low Sodium, Gluten Free)

This mason jar ramen recipe is an easy and satisfying lunch!  More flavorful than Instant Ramen, this soup will fill you up with healthy vegetables without the salt.  Just add hot water, and you have a delish and filling lunch at home, at school, or at the office!

This mason jar ramen recipe is one of my husband’s favorite lunches – and something I feel good making him.  We used to eat packaged Instant Ramen on days when we were sick or feeling too lazy to cook dinner.  But I would’t go back to the dry packaged stuff after making this healthy and flavorful Low Sodium Ramen Recipe – This soup is awesome!

This Low Sodium Ramen Recipe Is:

• Light
• Filling
• Low Sodium (yikes, have you ever checked out the sodium content of the packaged stuff?!)
• Noodley
• Vegan
• Gluten Free (if using rice noodles)
• Versatile – swap out any veggies you have on hand
• EASY to Meal Prep
• EASY to cook… just add hot water and allow to sit for 5 minutes before eating

You won’t miss the salt with the great flavors in this soup!  There is bright lime juice, sesame oil, sunflower oil, and spicy sriracha for a kick.  And since there is such a wide array of veggies and tofu, it will keep you full!

What’s In This Mason Jar Ramen?

• Tofu: I love this shelf-stable tofu from Mori-nu, it has a great flavor and texture (reminds me of the tofu in restaurant miso soups)!  Since it’s shelf stable it can last for up to a year in your pantry, so I stock up. You can get a 12 pack on Amazon for under $20, and its great to add to soups, curries, or crispy baked tofu!  Easy vegan protein.
• Noodles: I normally use Asian Vermicelli Rice Noodles for this, but I’ve also tried it with cooked angel hair pasta and it turned out amazing!
• Veggies: I like carrots, corn, edamame, green onion, and some fresh herbs in mine… but you can swap anything you have on hand.
• Sesame Oil: for an awesome toasted flavor, I use this sesame oil on more than just ramen; it goes into every stir fry I make!
• Sriracha: just a hint of this sriracha to give this soup a brilliant spicy flavor!
• Lime Juice: Brightens up the flavor and gives some great acidity

A No Cook Work Lunch, Just Add Water to this Ramen!

I love that there is no cooking time in this Low Sodium Ramen Recipe… add all the ingredients, and add hot water to heat.  The thin rice noodles cook in the water, and don’t need to be microwaved at all.  This is great for the office, as I can use hot water from the coffee machine, and pour it straight in the jar!

One of the BEST Pantry Staple Lunch Recipes

This vegan mason jar ramen recipe is a fantastic pantry-staple meal!  It uses almost all ingredients you would have in your dry pantry or cupboards (and you can substitute the frozen veggies for canned!).  You probably already have a lot of these ingredients on hand!  Keeping a well-stocked pantry makes it easy to come up with delicious and healthy meals using a few staples you can rotate.  I made a list of my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples that always keep on hand. And you can check out all my favorite pantry staple recipes on TheHerbeevore.com here.  By stocking up on healthy whole ingredients you can cook delicious recipes without a trip to the store!

Dietary Modifications

• This soup is naturally vegan & vegetarian, but if you aren’t vegan and want to add some cooked meat instead of the tofu go for it.
• This is gluten free, but if you aren’t avoiding gluten then you can swap whole wheat spaghetti instead of the rice noodles, and soy sauce for the tamari.
• This is a low sodium recipe, and has a fraction of the salt of normal ramen!  If you aren’t low sodium and want to add a bit more soy sauce or tamari, then feel free to add!

Make Instant Ramen Vegan for a Healthy Version

This vegan low sodium ramen is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegan cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family. I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegan recipes here that are on The Herbeevore.
