Teriyaki Shiitake Shoyu Ramen

40 min

Main

Soup
Ramen is a well-known and loved noodle dish from Japan. Chewy noodles are served in a deliciously savoury broth with warm and cold toppings. Variations of ramen are found throughout Japan, differentiated by the broth flavouring bases, like soy sauce, miso, or vegetable stock. This vegan version is inspired by the shōyu (醤油) or soy sauce-based ramen. Teriyaki glazed shiitake mushrooms and grilled baby corn are the perfect toppings for this slurp-able soup.

I made many vegan ramen soup recipes but this is my favourite so far. I forgot to buy smoked tofu but found a simple recipe to make my own, and that with those teriyaki mushrooms and baby corn were a very tasty combination!

Hi! I'm about to try this recipe tomorrow. I'm gathering all the ingredients :D Just a question: Could I use dehydrated nori seaweed instead of Kombu?
Thank you! I really like your recipes. They are great!

PUL Team - April 7, 2023, 9:30 p.m.

Hey Gina, the kombu is optional for added umami flavour so you can omit it. You add dehydrated nori seaweed instead too though - we enjoy dried seaweed as a topping 😃

This was FANTASTIC. The broth had an amazing depth, even without the kombu (because I couldn’t find any). I would have made twice the amount of broth had I known it was this delicious!

Kyla - Nov. 14, 2022, 4:43 p.m.

Delicious!! I personally found the recipe to be a bit on the salty side, but I also don’t eat a lot of salt so I could just be more heightened to even smaller amounts of salt. But with that said, the broth is so flavourful and warming! I love the crispy mushrooms and tofu added in. I also like to add green cabbage!

PUL Team - Nov. 15, 2022, 2:27 a.m.

Thank you for taking the time to share, Kyla! Ramen does tend to be saltier so using reduced-sodium sauces is one approach to help. So glad it was still enjoyed 😊

Amazing recipe! One of the best ramen I have eaten. Thank you PUL for all your hard work ❤️

I wanted to add a suggestion, it would be nice to have an option to save my favorite recipes on the website, so I can come to them later again 🙂 and maybe an option to save recipes to try later...

Such a big compliment, Michal, thank you! We'll note down the idea as well. Hopefully, we can share a project soon which has similar features 🤗

Since your ramen wars video, have made both but somehow keep going to this one, and now seems a weekly part of my menu. It is so comforting, so tasty and totally versatile with seaweeds and veggies. Absolutely love it.
Thank you.

This was so delicious. That broth was seriously unreal. My husband (who only eats plant-based at home) actually requested we make it for dinner again this week because he loved it so much last week! Love the addition of the bok choy, smoked tofu and the enoki mushrooms - I think these were my favourite parts of the ramen. We will be experimenting with adding sugar snap peas this week instead of the baby corn but I anticipate it will still taste delicious!

PUL Team - Oct. 11, 2022, 3:59 a.m.

Oh we're so happy to hear, Jill, and love the idea to use sugar snap peas! Enjoy 🤗

Caitlen - Oct. 4, 2022, 12:01 p.m.

Absolutely delicious!! The broth and the teriyaki mushrooms were just divine. It was my first time making ramen and actually made it for everyone when we had friends staying the night - everyone loved it! We live close to the Dutch border and often just go for a drive to Amsterdam to have good ramen, but I have to say, we won't have to drive as much as this recipe is now a household staple :) Will have to try the miso ramen next!

This was absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for the recipe Robin!! 🙌🏻🌿 My favourite parts were the teriyaki shiitake, baby corn and smoked tofu.❤️ I swapped the enoki mushrooms for shredded oyster mushrooms, bean paste for sambal and ramen noodles for brown rice noodles so it was GF. Will definitely be making again! 😍🍜

Hi PUL Team! I'm really looking forward to making this, but unfortunately don't have access to enoki mushrooms. :( Any suggestions on what could be a good substitute?

PUL Team - Sept. 15, 2022, 5:35 p.m.

Hey Caitlen! You can substitute the enoki mushrooms for any other mushrooms. You could also omit enoki mushrooms and add more noodles and shiitake mushrooms if desired. We hope you enjoy the recipe if you're able to give it a try 😃

Twee - Sept. 12, 2022, 6:42 p.m.

I tried Robin's recipe, although I don't have Donbanjiang paste, I sub for (mild) Ssamjang paste instead. Also I sub fresh shiitake mushrooms for dried shiitake mushrooms (of course less in term of weight) + mushroom bouillon cube. It was so good and satisfying. I can't handle spiciness but the warmth from the ginger and probably some spiciness from the Ssamjang paste was enough for me.
I'm so glad I got enough bokchoy and enoki mushrooms to make the dish again tomorrow!
