Common Recipe Questions
Can I omit or replace the mushrooms in this ramen recipe?
This is a mushroom broth based recipe. I haven't tested it with this particular recipe, but replacing the mushrooms with dried eggplant would probably product a result closest in taste and texture. Otherwise, you can also check out my Butternut Squash Ramen Recipe!
Can I omit the mirin or replace it with something else?
If you do not have mirin on hand, you can use a touch of sweet wine or a pinch of coconut sugar paired with rice vinegar for similar results.
Top Tips for Making Vegetarian Ramen
Mushrooms
Dried mushrooms produce a richer, more flavorful broth with stronger umami notes than fresh mushrooms, so I do not recommend replacing them with fresh.
Ramen Noodles
If you are on a gluten-free and/or vegan diet, be certain to check that your ramen noodles comply. We prefer Lotus Food's Ramen Noodles.
Ramen Toppings
We like to lightly boil broccoli and sliced sweet bell peppers to top off our ramen alongside some hemp seeds and a drizzle of sriracha. Other toppings we recommend: any raw or cooked veggies, sesame seeds, tofu, a drizzle of sesame oil or coconut aminos, tempeh, crushed nori seaweed, gomasio, kimchi or sauerkraut.
