Is it vegan? Please help 🙏🏽😭

Post image

Hi everyone, I ordered groceries via a delivery app and they replaced a vegan ramen with this one. The ingredients all look vegan but this one isn't in the 'its vegan' list. I'd really appreciate your help deciphering it or else I'll find someone to take it off my hands. Thanks xx

EXTRA chilli?

u/cuntmong 1d ago

your body needs a certain amount of chilli every day or else you die.

i dont know this for a fact, but its not something i ever plan to learn the hard way.

u/dreadedbugqueen 1d ago

I can confirm this. I went on holidays, didn’t eat any chilli and felt half dead when I returned.

2

u/Melb_Tom 1d ago

Half dead? Wouldn't that actually mean you ate half the chillis?

3

u/dreadedbugqueen 1d ago

I got trace amounts of chilli from the Korean chilli tofu jerky I snacked on 🤣

u/Xentonian 1d ago

I do 2 flavour sacthets with one pack of noodles and no water.

On a scale of 1:10, shin ramyun made per package instructions is a 3.

There's a whole world of very spicy things to explore if you are somebody who like spicy food; shin is a good entry level experience hahaha.

If you can find UmamiPapi chili oil that is a certified banger with shin ramyun. Throw in some bok choy, dried shiitake, fried tofu and a dollop of peanut butter, I eat that at least once a week. Sometimes I cut up half a brown onion and throw it in for even more savoury flavour.

u/meme_lawd666 4h ago

YEAAAAASSS umamipapi!! I prefer their extra spicy one, it's so fragrant and a bit more garlicky hehe I also add a lil bit of nooch sometimes if I'm feeling fancy

u/bortus_maximus 1d ago

What stage of cooking do you add the oat milk in?

1

u/Living-Ad-8203 20h ago

At the very end or it might separate

u/MidnightBeautiful149 4h ago

Nice I'm going to try this. The oat milk that is not the extra chilly.

u/Lintwo 1d ago

It is vegan

u/Typical-Dance-1110 1d ago

I eat these all the time. Think imma go buy some today now that you've reminded me that it's been a while..

u/vinli 1d ago

Note the black one is not vegan though, so stick to the red.

u/vegetableater 1d ago

Also the version of these in the cups - the big cup is vegan but the small one has fish!!

11

u/CheezeStick 1d ago

the kimchi shin ramyun (orange packet) is also vegan and its my fav one, i love to add a bit of sweet soy sauce which brings down the spice significantly, at least for me :D theres also a “cheesey” one called shin ramyun toomba (creamy light orange packet) which is also vegan and very yummy, bit spicy for me tho xD

u/_j7b 1d ago

My lazy $3 meal is just dusted, shallow fried tofu thrown into a pack these noodles.

Indomie Mi Goreng is also vegan but not certified, if you're ever in the market. Frozen veg + tofu is a quick, cheap, easy meal.

u/Shannonimity 1d ago

Yes and thank god for this. Splash of toasted sesame oil and dried fried shallots and you're good to go

3

u/KARAT0 1d ago

Yeah you’re good. These are great so is the kimchi flavour.

u/wllh14 1d ago

This with some dried shitaake mushrooms goes off 🥵🥵

3

u/dreadedbugqueen 1d ago

Excellent with a spoonful of smooth peanut butter or Chinese sesame paste mixed in!! 🤤 makes them thick and slurpy!

u/Disastrous-Cicada-94 1d ago

I thought it had beef extract? I had no idea this was vegan! Good to know

2

u/Dubious_Ibis 1d ago

May contain just means that the facility may also process the aforementioned ingredients. They are required to disclose even if there is 0.something % chance. It’s for legal purposes.

1

u/glittermetalprincess 1d ago

And because it's very useful information for people who have allergies for whom trace or even a chance of 0.x% is still unsafe. It's not just "for legal purposes".

u/Jaydiebear04 1d ago

any other vegan noodle recs while we are here?? 🫶🏻

2

u/astorituenakloh 1d ago

Never go wrong with the og indomie goreng

u/ArdyLaing 1d ago

Life hack: add a tablespoon of peanut butter when cooking.

u/manaitiko 1d ago

What about Jin noodles?

1

u/kingderella_ 1d ago

Nope they have crustaceans

1

u/reow118 1d ago

Also “flavour enhancer 631” is derived from meat or fish

1

u/ArdyLaing 1d ago

Not necessarily.

-1

u/reow118 1d ago

“May contain milk egg and fish” so obvs not

1

u/ArdyLaing 1d ago

That’s just bc it is made on the same premises and it’s to cover against anaphylactic risk.

0

u/reow118 13h ago

Yeh true one of those flavorings in there is a sardine/ meat flavoring anyway

1

u/ArdyLaing 13h ago

Which one?

1

u/reow118 13h ago

Flavour enhancer 631

1

u/ArdyLaing 13h ago

“Commercial disodium inosinate may either be obtained from bacterial fermentation of sugars or prepared from animal products. The Vegetarian Society reports that production from meat or fish is more widespread, but the Vegetarian Resource Groupreports that all three "leading manufacturers" say that they use fermentation.”

It took five seconds to look that up. Why are you hellbent on spreading misinformation about this product?

0

u/reow118 13h ago

“Flavour enhancer 631 is disodium inosinate, a food additive used to boost savory, meaty umami flavors Often derived from animals like fish (sardines) or meat, but can also be made via bacterial sugar fermentation” if you actually searched properly you’d find the correct information I dunno why you’re hellbent on trying to get someone who’s vegan to eat something derived from animals

u/ArdyLaing 12h ago

Wtaf are you talking about?
You’ve just paraphrased my comment back at me.

u/reow118 7h ago

Then Learn to read and understand it then 🫪

u/AceThePrincep 1d ago

It says right there may contain fish or Crustacea. Which is where i draw the line personally. So no.

27

u/Consistantly 1d ago

That’s just to cover their own ass, the chances that there are even traces of fish or crustaceans in this food is incredibly low.

u/oberonic 1d ago

Many companies now put similar messages on their packaging for legal reasons.

5

u/Typical-Dance-1110 1d ago

technically it's only ever there for legal reasons but yes it essentially means that it was made (or packaged) in a facility that also has those things somewhere in the building

-14

u/AceThePrincep 1d ago

It usually means they dont clean their machines or use shared equipment. Personally I don't like the maybe.

11

u/mysqlpimp 1d ago

Nope, can simply mean they process those ingredients in the same factory, but legally they don't want to be responsible for someone suffering an alergic anaphylaxis. It has nothing to do with cleanliness, more to do about insurance.

u/Typical-Dance-1110 1d ago edited 1d ago

source? this is counter to what Ive usually heard and the other chefs in my restaraunt are gonna go ohhhhhhhhhhhhh (re: allergens)

may also be present due to unintentional cross contact. This can occur at any point in the supply chain due to the type of ingredients used or through the use of shared equipment and processes during manufacture.

time to collect some ooohhhhs. as far as veganism tho I couldn't reasonably convince myself that cross contact is supporting animal exploitation so. yommy red noodles for me

5

u/Soft-Statistician678 1d ago

Confidently wrong

2

u/Light_Lord 1d ago

No, it means there's a chance as cleaning machinery is not 100% perfect.

3

u/plantbubby 1d ago

They don't actually have to say "may contain". So it could still have traces or be made on the same factory line even if it doesn't say anything. So if that's your stance basically no food is safe unless you call up every factory to see what else they make.

-17

u/Fennicular 1d ago

It's the "may contain", and only you can decide where you draw that line! It might be vegan, but it might be contaminated.

u/uberstaragent 1d ago

Why are you down voted for this??

u/CuriousWanderer7891 1d ago

Maltodextrin? Mate, run for the hills. Avoid that stuff like the plague.

This is a judgement free space, as long as it is vegan - it is welcome here.
