Umami-Rich Miso Ramen - Vegan recipe hero image

I first fell in love with ramen during a trip to Japan, where the broth was so rich and comforting.

This vegan version brings back those memories while being nourishing and completely plant-based.

Miso is such a powerhouse of flavor and nutrition, and it always makes me feel good to know I’m using such wholesome ingredients.

Plus, I can whip it up in about 30 minutes, which is a lifesaver on busy days!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • ✓Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • ✓No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • ✓Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • ✓Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using white miso for a milder flavor, but yellow works, too! If you're a fan of spice, feel free to add some chili oil or flakes for a kick. Soba noodles are my go-to, but rice noodles or udon can work just as well.

Tips & Notes

  • •I like to keep my miso paste in a glass jar in the fridge – it lasts a long time and is ready whenever I need a flavor boost.
  • •If you're short on time, you can skip frying the tofu and just add it straight into the broth; it still tastes great!

Recipe Variations

  • •Sometimes, I’ll add a splash of coconut milk for a creamy twist, which makes it feel extra indulgent.
  • •You could also top it with some pickled vegetables for an extra tangy flavor – so good!

Storage & Freezing

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just know that the noodles may soak up some of the broth, so you might want to add a splash of water when reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different vegetables?

Absolutely! I often throw in mushrooms, bok choy, or whatever greens I have on hand. Just remember to adjust the cooking time for harder veggies like carrots.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.

  3. 3

    While the broth is heating, prepare the tofu. You can pan-fry it in a separate skillet until golden brown or just add it directly to the broth for a softer texture.

  4. 4

    Stir in the miso paste and soy sauce into the simmering broth until well combined.

  5. 5

    Add the soba noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Once the noodles are nearly cooked, toss in the baby spinach and cubed tofu, letting everything heat through for another minute.

  7. 7

    Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more miso or soy sauce depending on your preference.

  8. 8

    Serve the ramen hot in bowls, garnished with sliced green onions, nori strips, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
