This homemade vegan ramen recipe is straightforward to make and 100% vegan. A good bowl of ramen has a flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, the tare, and the toppings. This ramen recipe has everything in it, and it is nutritious and effortless to make.
What is ramen?
Ramen is a Japanese soup that has a super interesting history; it originated in China. Little by little, it has evolved to what we know today as a super-rich and flavorful soup, full of flavor with noodles and vegetables.
This ramen recipe is perfect for a rainy day, a cold day, or a fun meal with your family. It’s perfect for kids to eat lots of veggies and experience new flavors in a fun way.
Ingredients for a good homemade ramen
- FOR THE BROTH
- Garlic, onion, and ginger because they give incredible flavor and are the base of a good stew or broth.
- Mushrooms, the flavor and umaminess in mushrooms make every bite explode our taste buds. Use the mushrooms you have at home, but for maximum flavor, use shiitakes or cremini.
- Roasted Sweet Potato adds body and color to the broth. Besides, it raises our ramen’s nutritional value and the sweetness of the sweet potato perfectly balances the rest of the ingredients.
- Peanut butter, use unsweetened peanut butter. You can make it at home if you don’t have unsweetened peanut butter.
- RAMEN
- Use the ramen noodles that you like the most. I really like the one from the Lotus brand which are made of rice and millet.
- But the truth is that any type of noodles works with this vegan recipe.
- You could also use zucchini noodles for a greener version of these ramen.
- TARE
- TOPPINGS
How to serve the homemade noodles?
The truth is that you can finish it as you want. The broth in this ramen is heavy and thick, so I like to finish it with raw carrots, roasted corn, chopped chives, and fresh herbs. Fresh and light ingredients.
Other delicious ideas to finish your ramen up:
- Cilantro, basil or mint
- Roasted or baked tofu
- Mushrooms
- Brussels sprouts or bock Choy
- Spinach, kale, or other leafy greens
- Crispy chili oil
And to finish and give it that perfect flavor with Asian notes, you put the tare. Tare is a sauce with super-concentrated flavors, and for me, it is the one that gives the final and special touch to all the ramen bowls.
Tare ingredients:
- Soy sauce or tamari
- Brown sugar
- Rice vinegar
- Roasted sesame oil

Here is the recipe for this homemade ramen and I hope you like it as much as we do. It is very easy to make and the broth can be stored in the refrigerator for a week without problems. If you want to keep it for longer, freeze it.
When you do, take a photo of it and put it on Instagram or FB, if you are going to do it then save it on Pinterest. It would also be incredible if you give it 5 stars and/or if you tell me how it went in the comments section; if you have doubts or ideas also put them there.
