This almost-instant vegan ramen might be my favorite recipe I’ve ever shared! It has a rich savory miso sesame flavor soup base and takes less than 5 minutes to make. I don’t want to over-hype this…but if you make one thing on my site I hope it’s this one!
The soup base is quick and easy and comes together in about 1 minute, just add hot water. This recipe is scalable to how many people you are serving because it’s made per serving in individual soup bowls. So if I’m making enough for two people, I will get our soup bowls out and make each portion right in the bottom. It’s one of my favorite go-to recipes for guests for this reason and because it’s super delicious.
There are lots of ways to modify this to your needs. If you are gluten-free you can use GF ramen noodles, in my video, above, I mention my favorite gluten-free ramen noodles. If you are soy-free then you can use chickpea miso, there are a few brands available nowadays. Chickpea miso is very similar in taste and color to white miso which works well.
Similarly, you can top this ramen with all kinds of goodies!! Here I’ve used scallions, nanami togarashi (Japanese spice blend), and dried nori strips. Fried tofu, bean sprouts, roasted corn, toasted sesame seeds, or greens would also be amazing on this ramen as well. What are your favorite vegan ramen toppings?
