I always thought there was something intimidating about making homemade ramen, until I tried this easy vegan ramen recipe.
Now, let’s get one thing out of the way; this isn’t authentic ramen. I’m sure there are tons of steps that I’ve skipped by way of making this recipe easier and more seamless, but I think the result is still pretty delicious (if I do say so myself).
This is my favorite meal on those cold-wintery nights when my body needs something warming and comforting (although I’ve also been known to make this in the summer…). I love that this meal comes together in about 30 minutes, making it much less labor and time-intensive than most other vegan ramen recipes I’ve seen floating around the internet. There are tons of different types of ramen, but I’m a huge miso ramen fan, so naturally, that’s what this is!
I’ve opted to pack this ramen with veggies, like roasted carrots and mushrooms, but feel free to add even more if you like. We often add sliced bok choy at the very end to wilt quickly in the pot and add even more greens.
I share a photo of this vegan ramen and got so many requests to share the recipe, so here it is!
