We enjoy eating ramen all year round, but there's something special about having a big, warm bowl of ramen on a cool autumn day. We lived in Japan for a couple of years, and we enjoyed some of the best ramen ever. The dish typically consists of a great broth, ramen noodles, and toppings like fresh vegetables, spring onions, bean sprouts, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and more. You can add anything you like to ramen to make it even better. This vegetarian ramen recipe is so simple and satisfying and really hits the spot when wanting ramen.

Personally, I prefer ramen topped with a huge King Prawn or thinly sliced pork/chicken. But sometimes, the easy lunch option of instant ramen packets with added water is the way to go and always tastes yummy. I really wanted ramen the other day, but we didn't have any pork, chicken, or King Prawns. So, we decided to make a vegetarian ramen. However, use chicken broth as an alternative to vegetable broth if you don't want to make the recipe vegetarian.

This vegetarian ramen recipe is so simple to make!

To enhance the flavor of the vegetarian ramen soup, we sautéed the garlic and onion together. Once the spices start to cook, the flavors and aroma really pop and come alive. This method infuses flavor into the ramen broth without hours of cooking. We use dried onion flakes, but a fresh onion will work as well. The dried onion flakes are great and save me the trouble of peeling and slicing an onion. After the spices toast, add soy sauce to take the place of salt and to add some additional flavor.

Next, add the broth to the garlic and onion mixture and bring to a boil. While the broth cooks, prepare the toppings for the vegetarian ramen.

Slice the shiitake mushrooms and sauté them in olive oil until they are soft and cooked to your desired texture. Once the mushrooms cook, remove them from the pan. Using the same pan, add half a tablespoon of butter and the frozen sweet corn. Sauté for a couple of minutes until the corn heats through.

Once the broth starts to boil, turn the heat down to a simmer and add the ramen noodles. Bring the broth back to a boil and cook until the noodles are done according to package directions.
