How to Cook Vegan Ramen

I want to start off by saying this is my own adaptation of ramen. This recipe does NOT necessarily follow the traditional Japanese ramen methods and I acknowledge that. My intention is not to upset anyone by posting this recipe as this is my own ramen creation although I acknowledge the history and the culture of this dish.

Now, let’s chat about how easy it is to make this gluten free ramen. It starts with slicing the mushrooms SUPER finely, I like to use a mandolin. You also need to chop the ginger and garlic finely. And for this, I like to use the food processor. You simply add in the garlic (skins removed) and ginger and blend until fine pieces form. Saute the mushrooms, ginger and garlic in a pot until they start to brown. Then add in the miso paste, tamari, maple syrup, and sesame oil. Give this all a quick stir and pour in that vegetable broth. Bring this mixture to a boil and then simmer it (with the lid off) for roughly ten minutes.

During these ten minutes, chop the tofu into small cubes. After ten minutes, bring the vegan ramen broth back to medium-high heat and add in the tofu and two ramen noodle cakes. If you don’t know what I mean by “noodle cakes”, I used the Lotus Foods Ramen Cakes for this easy vegan ramen and they are my favourite. Two noodle cakes honestly serve 4 people with this dish. Cook everything together until the noodles are soft. Be sure to stir the gluten free ramen noodles along with everything else in the pot to avoid any sticking to the bottom. No one wants burnt gluten free ramen…

Once the noods are al dente top the gluten free ramen with green onions and BOOM it is ready to enjoy! This dish is best fresh!

This gluten free ramen is a 30 minute vegetarian meal that doesn’t compromise on taste, which is key for me. Yes, I like quick meals, but they need to have flavour or I don’t have the time for it. The flavour in this easy vegan ramen comes mostly from the miso paste, sesame oil and vegetable broth. It is perfectly salty, smokey and lip-smackingly good. By now, you know I’m a huge fan of Lotus Foods and their gluten free ramen noodles are next level. They totally complete this vegan miso ramen.

In conclusion, this vegan miso ramen is quick to make, vegan, protein-packed, flavourful, salty, and loaded with gluten free ramen noodles without being overly heavy. It’s a comforting bowl that is still on the healthy side of things. As we ease our way into spring after hibernating all winter, this gluten free ramen is the perfect way to transition.
