Easy Vegan Ramen
- 1 package vegan ramen noodles
- 1/2 package extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/4" thick squares
- 1/2 cup sliced Little Potatoes (Baby Boomers)

Ramen Broth
- In a medium saucepan, heat sesame + canola oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue cooking until mushrooms are tender. Add ginger, soy sauce, and sriracha, cook, stirring frequently for 1 minute. Slowly add 2 cups vegetable broth. Simmer for 10 minutes, while you prep the ramen toppings.
- Strain the broth and measure. Add water to correct volume to 600 ml, taste, and adjust with water to suit your preference. Bring broth back to a boil and add sliced potatoes. Simmer for 3 minutes. Add noodles (cooking according to package directions) at the appropriate time to ensure potatoes and noodles are cooked at the same time.
Ramen
- Divide noodles and broth between 2 bowls. Top with crispy tofu, carrot ribbons, bean sprouts, thin-sliced mushrooms, spinach, and green onion. Serve with sesame seeds, soy sauce, and sriracha.
Notes
I nabbed these vegan ramen noodles from a packaged ramen - 1 package works perfectly. Choose whichever noodles you think will work best. Rice noodles, udon, soba, or flour stick noodles are all suitable options.
