Fresh off our previous post on Murtabak Maggi — a savory ramen pancake that’s scrumptious and filling — here’s a vegan-friendly version that will knock your socks off. It’s equally delicious, except this recipe gives you a more crispy mouthful! Using ramen or instant noodles in your savory pancakes might seem a bit odd to some, but it really adds to that rich and flavorful taste.

For murtabak maggi, the binding agent that holds the ingredients together is the egg. In this recipe, however, I’m using flour and corn starch as the pancake batter that glues everything together.

Crispy Ramen Pancake

With that said, the corn starch is also used in order to help make the pancake crispy. Even so, there’s an extra secret ingredient that I incorporate for that light and crispy texture: cold seltzer water. I first came across this method while researching for the best crispy kimchi pancake recipe, but now it’s something I fall back on whenever I’m making a savory-style pancake.

You can also try it with cold water instead, but in my experience the pancake won’t turn as crispy compared to cold seltzer water.

Notes for Savory Ramen Pancake (Eggless & Vegan-Friendly)

  • Ramen brand – For this recipe, I used the Samyang Spicy Chicken Flavor instant noodles. But you can definitely swap it out and tailor it to your flavor preferences.
  • Use cold seltzer water – When you incorporate it, the batter becomes light which makes the murtabak/pancake super crispy when fried. You can try to substitute it with ice cold water, though it might not be as crispy.
  • Add dried vegetables – If your instant noodle comes with dried vegetables, add it to the noodles while it’s cooking.
  • Flipping the murtabak – For easy murtabak/pancake flipping, cover the pan with a plate and flip it over. Slide the pancake back in to finish cooking.

Here are some other vegan-friendly recipes for you to try:

  • Spicy Crispy Mushroom Burger (Vegan-friendly)
  • Fried King Oyster Mushroom Bites (Vegan)
  • 20-Minutes Spicy Creamy Miso Ramen (Vegan)
  • Cold Refreshing Summer Noodles (10 minutes)

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
