Tips
If you don’t want long noodles in your ramen soup, you can break them up while they’re dry and add them in.
You can also substitute bone broth or chicken stock in place of the vegetable broth. (unless you’re trying to keep this dish vegetarian)
I like to cut down on my sodium level, so I like using low sodium soy sauce as an option.
Can I add other vegetables to this ramen soup?
You can! If you want to add celery, mushrooms, or even some bok choy, you can. You would just add them in with the rest of the vegetables in the same steps on the recipe card.
The great part about making this simple ramen recipe is that you can add or remove whatever vegetables you don’t care for.
How do I make spicy vegetable ramen?
It’s all about adding the heat! To make this dish spicy, just add some cayenne pepper to the mixture, and stir.
You can also make just your serving spicy by adding chili pepper flakes to the top of your noodles in your own bowl.
What are great toppings for ramen?
Chives are my favorite toppings for ramen, but some people will add crushed peanuts or even some shredded coconut as well. It’s all about finding the perfect balance of flavors for your taste buds.
How do I store leftover ramen?
If you have leftover vegetable ramen soup, you can save it for later. Just add it to a container and let it cool down completely before adding a lid. Store it in the fridge for 1-2 days.
Can I add in meat?
Absolutely. You can add in pork, chicken, beef, and even tofu to this dish. We tend to make it with vegetables because it’s an affordable way to enjoy a comfort dish, but there is nothing wrong with adding some meat!
How do I know when ramen noodles are done cooking?
You’ll want to check that the noodles are done before taking them out of the pot. I tend to grab a noodle and let it cool for a few seconds and then nibble on it. That’s always been the most accurate way to tell.

Do you mean 3 x 3oz packages of noodles, or 1 x 3 oz. package of noodles? Seems like 64 oz of broth would be a quantity suitable for 3 packages, but the recipe is a bit difficult to figure out.
