Why We Love This Spicy Kimchi Ramen Recipe
Warm bowls of tender ramen noodles, oodles of veggie goodies, and a savory broth are what dreams are made of! We have always preferred ramen soup on the spicier side – like Spicy Vegetarian Ramen and Spicy Shrimp Ramen. This quick and simple vegetarian Korean-inspired Spicy Kimchi Ramen Bowl recipe is loaded with tangy kimchi flavor and spice! Simply put: It is addictive. I add soft-boiled eggs and chopped tofu to our bowls, but it is just as easy to make as a spicy vegan ramen recipe! In fact, the dish is great to customize with your favorite proteins and veggies.
Ingredients You Need
Sesame oil – or other high heat and neutral flavored oil Scallions – sliced, greens and white separated Garlic – minced Shiitake mushrooms – sliced Vegetable broth – or mushroom broth for extra savory flavor Spicy kimchi – in juices, divided Gochujang sauce – spicy and sweet Korean chili paste Instant ramen noodles – regular or gluten-free Egg yolks – to thicken the soup
Plus your choice of protein! We love ramen eggs and chopped tofu.
How to Make Korean Spicy Ramen with Kimchi
How to Serve Ramen
Ladle the ramen soup into bowls, making sure each bowl has a generous amount of noodles and mushrooms. Top each bowl with scallion greens and a dollop of extra kimchi. If desired, add chopped tofu and ramen eggs on top. However, you can garnish this ramen noodle soup with anything from nori seaweed, napa cabbage, broccoli, avocado, enoki mushrooms, corn, or anchovy.
Recipe Variations
Mushrooms and green onions are traditional ramen ingredients. But you can use other vegetables if you like! Try this kimchi ramen recipe with thinly sliced carrots, bok choy, baby carrots, squash, or bell peppers. Make this a spicy vegan ramen recipe by omitting the eggs. The broth won’t be quite so rich and silky, but will still be delicious. Feel free to use gluten-free ramen noodles. Adjust the cooking time per package. Sensitive to spice or tanginess? You can adjust the spicy heat and tanginess by how much kimchi juice you add to the broth. I like to add it all, but feel free to add part of the juice if needed. Looking for more protein? Add tofu to this ramen to keep it vegetarian… or add in chicken, pork, or poached eggs.
