Easy vegan ramen noodles with tahini miso broth
Get creative with packaged ramen! Tahini gives the broth a wonderful creamy texture. Then finish with your choice of toppings like shredded cabbage mix, diced carrots, sugar snap peas, sliced radishes, diced bell pepper, pickled red onions, green onion, pickled jalapeno pepper slices, baked tofu, and/or seitan. The only limit is your imagination!

Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups water plus more if desired
- 1 Tablespoon tahini
- 1 teaspoon white miso paste
- ½ teaspoon tamari
- ½ teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 (60 gram) package ramen with seasoning packet
- ½ cup vegetables raw or cooked, chopped
- 3 ounces baked tofu or seitan
Instructions
- Add water, tahini, white miso paste, tamari, rice vinegar, and the seasoning packet to a small or medium sized soup pot. Bring to a boil and stir until the ingredients are full dissolved.
- Add ramen noodles. Cook about 4 minutes (or whatever time is listed on the package), until softened to your liking. If you'd like a brothier soup, add up to ¼ cup more of water.
- Pour the noodles and broth into a bowl. Top with your choice of chopped raw or cooked vegetables, baked tofu, and/or seitan.
Notes
If your seasoning packet is especially salty or strongly flavored, you may want to add only a portion of the packet. Or you can omit the seasoning packet altogether & use vegetable broth instead of water or ½ teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon no chicken base.
My preferred instant ramen is Koyo in garlic pepper flavor. The seasoning packet is on the mild side. So I add the whole seasoning packet when I use it. But I tried their ginger lemongrass flavor, and the ginger overpowered to me. So with that one, I’d skip it and use Better Than Bouillon or broth instead.
