FAQs
Vegan ramen is endlessly customizable! Start with a rich broth—miso, mushroom, or even a spicy kimchi base—then load it up with noodles and your favorite toppings. Popular add-ins include tofu, bok choy, mushrooms, corn, bamboo shoots, and scallions. A drizzle of chili oil or a spoonful of sesame seeds can take the flavor to the next level.
Tofu, tempeh, and seitan are classic high-protein additions to vegan ramen, offering great texture and flavor. You can also boost the protein content with edamame, soy curls, or even a spoonful of peanut butter or tahini in the broth. If you’re using instant ramen, look for high-protein noodles made from whole wheat, lentils, or chickpeas.
Instant ramen can go from basic to gourmet with just a few simple upgrades. Swap the seasoning packet for a spoonful of miso paste or tamari, then add sautéed mushrooms, greens, and crispy tofu for extra flavor and texture. A splash of coconut milk can create a rich, creamy broth, while chili crisp or sesame oil adds a punch of umami.
