- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon miso paste
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 packets ramen noodles (without the seasoning)

Helpful Tips
To make this recipe even more beginner-friendly, consider pre-slicing all vegetables and having them ready to go before you start cooking. For added protein, feel free to add tofu or tempeh, marinated in a bit of soy sauce and sesame oil. If you’re out of miso paste, tahini or a small amount of peanut butter can be used as a substitute.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover ramen in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove. Note that the noodles may absorb some of the broth, so you may need to add a bit more broth or water when reheating.
Pairings
This Vegan Ramen pairs wonderfully with a light cucumber salad or a side of edamame. For drinks, consider serving with hot green tea or a refreshing ginger lemonade.
