Ingredients

Here's what you need for the easiest vegan ramen:

  • Oil. Use a neutral-flavored oil like avocado, or sesame oil if you need some extra nutty flavor.
  • Ginger. Grate your ginger on a Microplane or finely mince it.
  • Garlic. Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
  • Shallots. You can also use a finely diced red onion.
  • Miso paste. Use mellow white or yellow miso for this recipe.
  • Sriracha. Add as much as you like for heat.
  • Vegetable broth. Use low-sodium store-bought sauce or make your own!
  • Bok choy. Use baby bok choy if you can find it, or chop larger heads of bok choy.
  • Ramen noodles. You can use gluten-free if necessary.
  • Edamame. For added plant-based protein.
  • Corn. Use sweet corn for a nice pop of sweetness.
  • Soy sauce. Or use tamari for gluten-free.
  • Scallions. For garnish.

How to Make 30-Minute Ramen

Saute the aromatics. Starting your recipe this way will add way more flavor to the final product. You'll saute the aromatics in the oil in a large pot. Then stir in the miso paste and sriracha to build more flavor.

Add the broth. Once you've added the broth, bring it to a simmer, stirring well to dissolve the miso fully.

Tips for Making Vegan Ramen

Here are a few handy tips to keep in mind when making this recipe:

  • Cut the bok choy by removing the base to separate the leaves. This makes the soup much easier to make.
  • You can use chili-garlic sauce instead of sriracha if you prefer. Then you can skip the minced garlic.
  • Because this is a one-pot soup, the noodles will absorb more liquid as it sits. If you prefer brothier ramen, add more vegetable broth.
  • Look for vegan ramen noodles such as this brand in the Asian section of the grocery store. Many are naturally gluten-free because they're made with buckwheat.

Storage Suggestions

When you cook noodles in the pot, the soup won't store as well. This vegan ramen is best served right after it's prepared. Or, if you'd like to store the soup for later, I recommend cooking the noodles separately and adding them directly to your bowls before eating.
