Ingredients for vegetarian miso ramen.
  • Ramen noodles: Different types of ramen noodles are available, such as thin, fat, straight, or wavy. I like using fresh ramen noodles like the above, but you can also use dried noodles or instant ramen noodles.
  • Vegetables of choice: While there are many options available, I select bean sprouts, nira (Chinese chives), carrots, and scallions. See more in the “Topping Variations” section below.
  • Garlic, ginger, and onion add a rich flavor to the soup.
  • To season the soup, use sesame oil, sake, soy sauce, mirin, and miso paste (use red miso paste). You can substitute vegetable or olive oil for sesame oil.

For Vegans:

Certain ramen noodles might include eggs. Therefore, opt for egg-free ramen noodles if you’re seeking a vegan miso ramen recipe.

Customize The Soup

Here are some ideas to customize the flavor of your soup base:

How To Eat Ramen in Japan

In Japan, people slurp noodles and even drink the broth directly from the bowl without using a spoon. While slurping noodles may seem bad manner in some cultures, it is acceptable in Japan and also serves the practical purpose of cooling down the hot noodles for a more enjoyable eating experience.
