Vegan Spicy Ramen

A quick and savory vegan ramen made with miso and fresh vegetables, perfect for a cozy night.

Ingredients

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (vegan)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste (veggie)
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or cremini)
  • 1 cup chopped bok choy
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Soy sauce to taste
  • Tofu (optional, for protein; firm or extra-firm)

Instructions

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms and bell peppers. Sauté until they soften and begin to brown, about 4–5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the miso paste and red pepper flakes. Cook briefly to bloom the spices and coat the vegetables.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer.
  5. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 3–4 minutes.
  6. Stir in the bok choy and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, until the leaves are wilted.
  7. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with soy sauce. Serve hot, garnished with green onions and tofu if desired.

Notes

Consider using low-sodium vegetable broth and miso for a less salty dish. Miso varies in saltiness, so adjust to taste.
