Vegetarian Ramen Recipe Details:
About 73% of the reason I love ramen and pho is the broth. While traditional ramen and pho broth are slow-cooked over hours, I find a simple garlic-ginger broth with some spices does a mighty fine job of lending flavor to the soup, while keeping the cook time to a minimum.
As you can see, I went the green route, incorporating leek, bok choy, broccoli, and green onion. Add some freshly chopped basil and you’ve If you eat gluten-free like me, simply use vermicelli rice noodles. Done and done.
Let’s discuss protein. The soft boiled egg situation is the perfect addition for a little protein infusion. If you’ve never made soft boiled eggs, it’s easy!
Simply boil the eggs for 4 to 6 minutes, stick them in an ice bath until chilled, then peel per usual. The yolk comes out gooey with mega cream flavor. If you’re up for the animal, you can add raw shrimp, chopped chicken, sliced pork, and/or sliced beef to the soup.

I have yet to try making ramen at home! I need to fix this. That broth sounds sooo good!
this is perfect for the cold weather that we are having right now! I just want a big bowl of this to warm me up!
The ramen craze hasn’t really hit us yet, but I’m completely addicted to pho. Either way, slurpy noodles are a must have in the winter and these look fantastic!
Not sure if my earlier comment went through, so trying again! We are twinning with our grown up Japanese soups- love it, pinning 🙂
That broth sounds ridiculously good. It totally takes this ramen from broke college student to sophisticated and employed. I want it all in my mouth!
p.s. that background is dope. LOVE.
Ooooh ginger broth, that’s such a great idea!! I usually just make my ramen with plain vegetable broth but this is a fantastic alternative. Thanks for the inspiration! 😀
This looks beautiful AND delicious 🙂
