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!

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.
