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:

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Mee Goreng (stir fried noodles) @farahjeats Mee Mee Goreng (stir fried noodles) @farahjeats 
Mee (mie) goreng, a quick and easy stir fried noodles recipe that’s great for lunch or dinner. Popular in Malaysia and neighboring countries like Indonesia and Singapore— with each country having their own version of it. Chewy noodles infused with spicy, tangy and savory flavors, and ready within 30 minutes!
This is definitely not an authentic recipe but a simplified version that my mother-in-law makes often and now a recipe that I make quite a lot for a quick breakfast using ingredients easily accessible to us here. It definitely hits the spot! Feel free to add protein of your choice to this dish or just add a fried egg on top! 
I’ll work on an authentic Malaysian mee goreng recipe and share soon ☺️

Try these Crispy Air Fried Crab Stick Crackers for size. A classic snack that could almost always be seen during Chinese New Year festivities in Malaysia. All you need are some crab sticks, a bit of seasoning, and a few tablespoons of oil!
This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Cocon Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Coconut Curry) @farahjeats 
Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
