Keep in mind that the following guide is for vegan ramen toppings only. Be sure to check the ingredients of any store-bought products you use to ensure they are vegan-friendly. Also, please remember to taste as you go and adjust the flavors according to your preferences.

1

Choose your protein

Decide on your vegan protein option. Tofu, tempeh, or even seitan can be great choices. Prepare it according to your preference, whether that's baking, frying, or marinating.

2

Prep your vegetables

Slice and dice your favorite vegetables to add color, flavor, and texture to your ramen. Carrots, mushrooms, bok choy, and scallions are classic options. Don't be afraid to add something unexpected like bean sprouts or kale!

3

Create a flavor-packed broth

A good broth is essential for a bowl of delicious vegan ramen. Use vegetable broth as the base and add flavor with miso paste, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and any other seasonings you love. Simmer the broth until it's rich and flavorful.

4

Prepare the noodles

Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Remember to cook them al dente, so they don't get too soft in the hot broth. Once cooked, drain and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process.

5

Assemble your bowl of yum

Now it's time to bring it all together! Start by placing your cooked ramen noodles in a bowl. Pour your flavorful broth over the noodles. Then, arrange your protein, vegetables, and any additional toppings you desire on top. Some popular choices include nori (seaweed), sesame seeds, and sliced chili peppers.
