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.

  • 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.

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.
