  • Total Time: 25 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g dried or fresh ramen noodles (preferably vegan)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or button)
  • 1 cup chopped bok choy or spinach
  • 1/2 cup diced firm tofu (optional but recommended)
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Soft-boiled or scrambled vegan egg (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes or sriracha (for spice, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium pot, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the soy sauce, miso paste, and sesame oil, stirring until the miso is fully dissolved. Incorporate the minced garlic and grated ginger, allowing the broth to simmer gently for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  2. In a separate pot, boil water and cook the vegan ramen noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside. To keep the noodles from sticking, toss them with a little sesame oil or rinse gently with cold water.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms and tofu into the simmering broth, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Next, stir in the chopped bok choy or spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Adjust the seasonings as needed, adding more soy sauce or miso if desired.
  4. Divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot, saucy broth with vegetables and tofu over the noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions, a drizzle of sesame oil, and optional red pepper flakes or sriracha for added spice. For extra protein, include a soft-boiled vegan egg or scramble some tofu into the dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the most vibrant flavor.
  • Adjust the spice level with more or less sriracha or red pepper flakes.
  • If desired, add other veggies like corn or shredded carrots for variation.
