You know those little seasoning packets that come with instant ramen noodles? Well, say goodbye to those mystery ingredients and hello to a healthier, homemade version. Just 7 ingredients and 5 minutes to make, and you have your own Homemade Vegan Ramen Seasoning. Cook some noodles, stir in the seasoning, and top with your favorite veggies and you’ve got yourself a comforting bowl of ramen that’s worlds apart from the store-bought stuff.
For those of you who are fans my Vegan Mac & Cheese Powder, or Tofu Scramble Spice Mix, you are going to LOVE this Homemade Vegan Ramen Seasoning! This recipe is another secret weapon for convenience. Homemade Vegan Ramen Seasoning is super duper easy to make. Just add all the ingredients to a bow or jar and stir or shake. That’s it!
My recipe makes about ¾ cup of seasoning which is enough for 8 bowls of ramen, but feel free to multiply or reduce the recipe as you see fit. Store it in an airtight container in your pantry, and it will stay fresh for a year or even longer. This means you’re always just minutes away from a hearty, heartwarming bowl of ramen, no matter when the craving strikes.
To make the ramen, pick up a package of plain ramen noodles. Your grocery store should carry them in the Asian section or health food section of your grocery store. Or you can order them online. They are also shelf stable, so you can store them for a long time and have everything you need on hand for an easy dinner or lunch.
When you are ready to cook your noodles, boil them following the package timing, then stir in the homemade vegan ramen seasoning. This is where your ramen becomes a canvas for your cravings. Load it up with sliced carrots, earthy mushrooms, fresh green onions, toasty sesame seeds, crisp bok choy, savory nori, tofu or seitan for some extra protein oomph, shelled edamame, fragrant Thai basil, or sweet corn kernels. The possibilities are endless, and you can customize it to suit your taste buds every single time. It’s also a great way to use up leftover vegetables in your fridge! To finish it I love to add a little drizzle of sesame oil. This really brings all the flavors together for the perfect warming bowl of ramen.
How To Make the Homemade Vegan Ramen Seasoning:
Add all of the ingredients to a bowl or jar. Stir or mix well. Store in an air-tight container in your pantry. It will keep fresh for a year or longer!
How to Use Homemade Vegan Ramen Seasoning:
Bring 2 – 3 cups of water to a boil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually about 3 minutes). Once cooked, stir in 1 tablespoon of your Homemade Vegan Ramen Seasoning, and stir to dissolve into the water.
Pour the noodles and broth into a bowl, drizzle with a bit of sesame oil, and then top with your favorite vegetables and toppings.
