    Miso ramen is a very popular Japanese ramen recipe. The broth is similar to miso soup, but much creamier and even more intense in flavor.

    The miso ramen broth is mainly made of miso paste (fermented soybean paste) and therefore has a very salty umami taste. The broth is typically topped off with soy milk, which makes it very creamy and mild. The ramen toppings consist of ramen noodles, fried tofu, shiitake mushrooms, a ramen egg, and sliced scallions.

    If you like, you can also add some canned sweet corn, fresh bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, or steamed bok choy on top of the ramen soup. A bowl of miso ramen is definitely satisfying, warming, delicious, high in protein, and leaves you wanting more!

    This miso ramen recipe is vegetarian. If you prefer a vegan miso ramen, simply omit the ramen egg.

    If you like this creamy miso ramen soup, be sure to try this recipe for Tan Tan Ramen as well. It’s similar, but has a strong sesame flavor and is a tad spicier!

    🛒 Ingredients

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Miso Ramen Ingredients
    • Ramen Noodles → Use homemade, fresh, or dried ramen noodles! Authentic Japanese ramen noodles contain Kansui (alkaline water). Tastes also delicious with regular dried ramen noodles from the supermarket. If you are super fancy, ask your favorite ramen bar for fresh ramen noodles, you can often get them fresh or frozen for take-away.
    • Tofu: Use firm or extra firm tofu! Adds protein to this meal.
    • Shiitake Mushrooms → It is best to use fresh ones. Dried ones need to be soaked in hot water for about 15 minutes. It also works with button mushrooms.
    • Ramen Eggs → Prepare them according to this recipe for homemade ramen eggs!
    • Scallion/Green Onion → To garnish!
    • Miso Broth: Miso Paste, Sesame Oil, Ginger, agrlic, Shallot, Gochujang, Water, Unsweetened Soy Milk, and Mirin → Gochujan is a slightly spicy bean paste. It can be replace with sriracha/sambal oelek/doubanjiang. If you don’t like spicy miso ramen, omit it altogether. Mirin can be replaced with 1 tbsp rice vinegar and 1 tsp sugar.

    Miso Paste is made from soybeans that have been fermented. It’s very healthy, rich in nutrients, and improves your digestion. I recommend to use red miso paste, which has a deep umami flavor and is perfect to flavor soups. If you are looking for a sweeter and less intense taste, use white miso paste.

    🫙 Storage Instructions

    Ramen should, if possible, always be prepared fresh & enjoyed immediately! But as long as it is not yet served, you can store the individual components separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator. By pouring the hot broth, the remaining ingredients become warm again.
