Whilst some ramen dishes are simmered for hours, this is my quick and easy vegan ramen. A rich and creamy coconut miso broth with chewy noodles and fresh veg, all coming together in under 30 minutes.
It's creamy, savoury, a little spicy and brightened with freshness of the veg. The type of dish when you want something nourishing and delicious, but don't want to spend hours cooking.
The base is made up of a few flavor-packed ingredients for maximum impact in little time and is also pretty nutritious too.
Coconut milk is rich in manganese and also contains healthy amounts of copper, magnesium, phosphorus and iron. Tofu and edamame are rich in protein, as well as delivering calcium, as well as the dark leafy greens also delivering a hit of iron and vitamin C, which in turn helps to boost iron absorption.
