Soy milk is often used for the soup of vegan ramen as it adds richness and creaminess to the broth while it’s all plant-based. In this easy (non-vegan) recipe, we simply replaced some water with soy milk when making a packaged instant ramen. No additional seasoning other than some sesame seeds and sesame oil added at the end. Soy milk added the depth in the broth, but it’s not overly creamy or greasy. It complemented the Tonkotsu flavor really well. We dropped an egg in the same pot while making the noodle, so it’s an one-pot meal and as easy as it gets!

Ramen (ラーメン) is one of the most popular Japanese foods. Chinese style noodles are served in a savory broth and topped with sliced meat and vegetables. Common flavors of the soup are soy sauce, miso, and Tonkotsu (pork bone broth). While there are many ramen specialty restaurants in Japan and around the world where you can have delicious bowls of ramen noodles, making good ramen at home is not that hard as long as you have the right ingredients.
There are roughly three types of ramen noodles you can get at Japanese or Asian markets: semi-dried noodles, dried Chukamen, and instant ramen. If you have a Japanese market nearby, you can probably find semi-fresh ramen noodles in the refrigerator section. They normally come with packets of concentrated soup. Semi-fresh noodles have great texture, and they taste closer to restaurant-style ramen. Another good choice for noodles is chukamen or dried Chinese style wheat noodles. They are similar to dried spaghetti noodles. You can just follow the instructions in the package and boil the chukamen noodles separately before serving with the broth.
