Vegetarian Ramen
This Vegetarian Ramen is super easy to make and is super cozy. It tastes good anytime, especially on those cold winter days. It is ideal to surprise friends and family.
Portions: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 1 zucchini
- 1 cup spinach
- ¼ leek
- A drizzle of olive oil
- 4 to 6 tbsp miso paste
- 2 underboiled eggs
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 servings soba noodles
- 4 cups boiling water
- nori seaweed or wakame to taste optional
- 2 cups vegetable broth optional (preferably homemade)
- 1 to 2 tbsp soy sauce optional
- Sesame seeds to sprinkle
Instructions
- Start by chopping the onion into very small pieces. Set aside.
- Also cut the zucchini into cubes and the leek into rounds. Set aside.
- Put the chopped onion in a pot with olive oil and cook over medium-high heat for 2 min or until it starts to get soft.
- Add the zucchini and leek and cook for another 1 or 2 min.
- While the vegetables are cooking, you can boil the water in a kettle (I find it easier this way because the noodles only need to be slightly boiled, but you can boil water in a pot for example).
- Add the miso paste to the pot of vegetables and let it dissolve slightly.
- If you want to add the vegetable broth, put it in the pot now and let it boil.
- Add the boiling water and let the rest of the miso paste dissolve.
- Season with salt and pepper and add the spinach and soba noodles.
- Cook for about 3 minutes and turn off the heat. Let it rest.
- Meanwhile, boil the eggs for 6 min (so that they are undercooked) or, 7 to 10 min, if you prefer hard-boiled eggs.
- Add the soy sauce to the broth, if you choose to add it.
- Assemble your vegetarian ramen: place the noodles in a bowl, then the broth and the vegetables.
- Add an egg broken in half and some nori or wakame seaweed.
- Repeat the assembly process for the second bowl.
- You can also add some sesame seeds on top.
Notes
Use the vegetables you like best. Personally, I like this combination and they are vegetables that I usually have at home, but try other combinations.
With mushrooms and pak choi, it also leads to a delicious result! Perhaps one of my favorite combinations!
Use broths to enhance the flavor, if you prefer, such as the vegetable broth I mentioned in the recipe, or even chicken or beef broth. When I do, I like to use homemade broths, which are healthier.
You can use poached eggs if you prefer (but it's harder to eat with chopsticks).
If you like, you can put meat (chicken or beef, for example) or even seafood (such as shrimp) in this ramen. Lightly fry in olive or coconut oil and flavor with some teriyaki sauce or even peanut sauce and serve.
