Vegan Ramen Recipe

The one thing I love most about traveling is the food. On a trip to Japan, last year my daughter and I ate our body weight in ramen. When I came back this was one dish I knew I had to master. If you’re a Ramen lover or just craving a taste of Japan, add this Easy Homemade Vegan Ramen Recipe to this week’s dinner menu.

raveling to Japan gave my daughter and me a new perspective on life. Not only did we find ourselves immersed in a new culture, but we also met new people, saw new sights, and even tried new food. Food is one of the cornerstones of any culture, and it’s no wonder that one of the things that people most often talk about concerning international travel is what food they eat.

While trying new and culturally interesting foods wasn’t our sole reason for taking the trip, it was something I was heavily interested in beforehand, so I made sure to take notes about places we had to visit at least once during the trip.

At one of these visits, we ordered a ramen dish that completely changed my perception of what ramen is, and what it isn’t. The ramen dish we ordered was served in a simple wooden bowl and featured hand-sliced vegetables, noodles, an egg, and all of the other amazing add-ons you will find on authentic Japanese ramen.

Admittedly, my first exposure to ramen was not during our Japan trip, but years ago, when my mom plunked a big case of instant ramen in front of me and asked me if I wanted to try it. I did, and it was good. Little did I know that authentic ramen in Japan would forever alter how I perceived ramen, as well as forever altering the type of cuisine I sought out when I was in a “ramen” mood.
