Quick and Easy Vegetarian Ramen is a fast, flavorful noodle soup made with a rich vegetable broth, tender noodles, and fresh veggies. This cozy, meat-free meal comes together in under 30 minutes and is perfect for a comforting lunch or dinner packed with umami flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (instant or fresh, seasoning packets discarded)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, or button), sliced
  • 1 cup bok choy or spinach
  • 1 carrot, julienned or shredded
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or neutral oil
  • Optional toppings: soft-boiled eggs, tofu cubes, chili oil, nori, sesame seeds, bean sprouts

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes.
  2. Add mushrooms and cook for 3–5 minutes until softened.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add carrots and bok choy or spinach. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until just tender.
  5. Meanwhile, cook ramen noodles in a separate pot according to package instructions. Drain and divide into serving bowls.
  6. Ladle hot broth and vegetables over noodles.
  7. Top with desired toppings like soft-boiled eggs, tofu, green onions, or chili oil. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Add miso paste or mushroom broth for a deeper flavor.
  • Use tamari and rice noodles for a gluten-free version.
  • Customize with roasted corn, kimchi, or seaweed.
  • Store broth and noodles separately to avoid sogginess.
  • Reheat broth and pour over freshened noodles to serve again.
