If you have been following me for a while, you’ll know that Japanese food is one of my absolute favorites! It’s healthy, it’s super easy to veganize and, above all, incredibly delicious! This Easy Vegan Ramen Soup is no exception! Although it’s summer in Europe, it can never be too hot for a tasty ramen soup – plus it’s winter in some countries around the globe, so that’s an excuse! 😉 This Easy Vegan Ramen Soup includes all my favorites: steamed bok choy (or pak choy), slightly pan-‘fried’ tofu, portobello mushrooms, spiralized carrots and nooooooodles! 🙂
Literally can’t get any better than this! I’ve made this one so many times already because my boyfriend absolutely LOVED it and it’s just so simple!
All you do is pour together the broth, and while it’s cooking, prepare your favorite toppings and voilà !
Normally, ramen noodles contain egg, so you gotta be careful and read the ingredients thoroughly. I couldn’t find any vegan ramen noodles in Cyprus so far, so instead I chose chow mein noodles, which were completely egg free (to my surprise) and equally tasty! Just be creative and work with what you have on hand! 🙂
In order for the broth not to become too salty, I used both a low-sodium veggie broth + soy sauce. I’ve found that the miso paste, in combination with the low sodium soy sauce and veggie broth makes it salty enough and gives it a really great flavor – but I guess my salt receptors are already used to less sodium, so make sure to adjust to your own taste.

It’s like “mie ayam” in Indonesia, but I like both!
i love this recipe im having for a second time tomorrow.Its very similar to every soup you would buy at a Asian restaurant.Soo filling and comforting it brings me back to the really nice fragrant Japanese restaurant where i had long soup as a kid in sydney
Oh that’s so lovely! 🙂 Happy you like it – it’s one of my favorites too!
am trying this tonight, but I have heard from someone who knows about asian food and products that adding the miso AND heating or boiling for, like here 10 minutes, actually destroys all the healthy benefits of miso. The Miso should be added just before the serving, in the hot, but NOT COOKING, broth….
Just FYI

Oh thanks! I didn’t know that 🙂
