Super Simple Ramen-Inspired Garlic Noodles (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

I bet I’m not the only one who grew up eating those really cheap, easy-to-make ramen noodles with flavor packets. (The oriental flavor was vegetarian-friendly.) So, I’d take them to school, and eat them dry (gross, I know). Whether we like to admit it or not, when prepared according to the instructions, that sodium bomb ramen was pretty good (tasting) nonetheless.

I do not eat those ramen packs anymore, but I have made a noodle dish that tastes strikingly similar—a copycat ramen. If you dig the flavor of those ramen noodles from your childhood or starving college student days, you must try out these ultra-comforting, yummy, no-fuss garlic noodles!
