Vegan Ramen Noodle Soup from scratch
How to make vegan no oil ramen noodle soup from scratch!
Today I am going to show you how to make no oil vegan ramen noodle soup with soy sauce.
No refined oil means it is a whole food plant based diet and anti inflammatory diet.
Making vegetable broth is super easy and you probably have most of the ingredients at home already.
In this recipe I mainly used onion, carrot, celery, potato, shiitake mushrooms and kombu seaweed. However, feel free to be creative!
For example the toppings for ramen I made today I used carrot, scallions, bok choy and oyster mushrooms. So I trimmed the edge and saved them for the stock.
There are plenty of space to be creative when Making broth.
Does that sound exciting? Let's get started!

TOPPINGS

Preheat the oven to 400F / 205C
Cut tofu into small pieces - about 1/3 inch. I pressed tofu in advance to remove excess water which is optional
Place them on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Be sure to toss the tofu halfway.
Take them out from oven and transfer them into a bowl.
Marinate with soy sauce, rice vinegar, chopped scallions and garlic chili sauce.
Slice carrots, bok choy and oyster mushrooms and steam for 5 minutes. *Bok choy - I only steam the stem and eat leaves raw but you can steam the whole, if you prefer.

NOTE:
About broth:
There are plenty of space to be creative when Making broth.
However there are a few ingredients that I wouldn't recommend.
They are mostly in cabbage family, such as cabbage, Brussel sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower. Why? They just tend to leave unpleasant flavor that most of people don't enjoy.
Also powdered and grounded spices are to be avoided since they make the broth muddy and bitter.
About tofu topping:
You will probably use only half package of tofu. However the baked and marinated tofu is so delicious. You can eat with rice, salad or just as snack. So I highly recommend cooking the whole package of tofu!
