Homemade Vegan Ramen Seasoning
Make homemade easy vegan ramen soup in minutes with this vegan ramen seasoning packet! No oil, less sodium and no additives like the commercial store brands. A healthier option and delicious soup can be made in minutes by just adding vegetable broth.
Ingredients
RAMEN SEASONING
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons onion flakes
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon dried green onions
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar (use regular if you don't have this)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger (use 1 1/2 teaspoons if you want it spicier)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt (I used Himalayan pink salt)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (use 1/2 tsp for spicier)
HOW TO MAKE THE RAMEN SOUP
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon of the above ramen seasoning
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 2 oz package ramen noodles (see NOTES at bottom)
- optional veggies: I added sweet red bell peppers, green onions, baby bok choy and smoked tofu. SO GOOD
Instructions
- Add all of the spices under "ramen seasoning" to a bowl and mix VERY well.
- To make the soup, bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, add the 1 tablespoon of the ramen seasoning, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and the ramen noodles.
- Mix up the noodles with a fork and cook for about 4 minutes until tender.
- Add any toppings you like. I added sweet red bell peppers, green onions, baby bok choy and this smoked tofu. I roasted both my bell peppers and bok choy so it added a smoky flavor to the soup, but you don't have to do this.
Notes
I used the Koyo brand of ramen noodles because they have no additives or oil, just a tiny bit of salt. You can find this brand at Sprouts and HEB in Texas.

I made this shortly after seeing it on Facebook with Lotus Foods brand brown rice and millet ramen for my gluten free teenage daughter. She absolutely loves it! Thanks for this awesome recipe!
I’m so happy to hear this Pam, thank you so much for making it so quickly!
I made this last night after I saw Brandi’s post on Instagram. Brandi is the Queen of Spices! This was easy & delicious! Thanks again Brandi💕
I cannot wait to try recipe—my daughter was just asking for ramen. One question: do you make your own smoked tofu or is there a brand you like? Thank you!
Hi Christina! I actually made it, it’s another new recipe coming this week! 🙂
I can’t wait! I have everything to make the ramen, so I’ll wait a few more days to get your recipe for the tofu. Thanks!
Hi Brandi, just wondering about the soup seasoning, the unused seasoning will keep how long? In glass tight fitting lid, in fridge, with spices in pantry??? Please advise best storage Cathee
Hi Cathee! It will store for a few months sealed in a pantry!
Made the ramen seasoning around lunchtime & put in glass screw lid jar. Decided to make for my tea, just had to try. I followed recipe but only had 2 minute noodle so that’s what I used. Added book Choy, red capsicum, & chives @ end. It was wonderful, really delicious, thankyou
I’m so happy to hear you loved it Cathee! Thank you so much for letting me know!
Do you buy dried green onions online? I have not seen them before.
No, I just bought them in the spice isle.
Can you show us a picture please? I cant fimd them anywhere locally. I found dried chives but they dont seem tl be the same
Hi Melissa! I can’t post pics in the comments, it won’t let me. Dried chives are basically the same, so you can use those. As long as they aren’t fresh, they are fine. They are also called freeze-dried which is sometimes in the produce area. Those work, too.
I didn’t have the green onions, so I doubled the onion powder. It still turned out to be delicious and authentic. Just a thought for anyone who can’t find the green onion in your grocery store…
Dried green onions are available at Amazon.com. I get the Litehouse brand described as dried “spring onions.” They’re very good. Sometimes I buy a bunch of fresh ones at the store and keep them in a tall glass of water, if I’m going to be using them for a few recipes. But, I ALWAYS keep a couple of jars of the dried green/spring onions on hand, just in case! My husband uses them a lot on a tuna & bean salad he makes, too.
I used to make an asian style coleslaw using packaged ramen and can not wait to try it with these spices. How much so you think would be equal to one of those little packages?
Hi Susan! See the directions, it says to use 1 tablespoon to make the soup 🙂
Delicious! I used millet & brown rice ramen, and added veggies (red bell pepper, carrots, and spinach) and baked tofu. Great that the seasoning recipe makes enough for a few meals – I stored the rest in a spice jar. Thanks for the recipe!
What a delicious soup! The seasoning works perfectly for the Ramen dish and I love that it’s homemade!! It went together really fast, a great busy weeknight meal that’s fresh and healthy!!
Yay, I’m really glad you loved it Tara!
You are a genius! Period! This tastes exactly like my favorite cup ramen but the healthy version! Can’t thank you enough! 👏👏👏💖💖💖

p.s. sorry I forgot to click on the stars on my previous comment 😊
Thank you so so much Nora!!
Is this a one-serving recipe?
No, it makes a lot, as you only use 1 tablespoon of the mixture, (see step 2). I believe it makes enough for 8 ramen soup bowls.
I used dried chives in place of green onions but yuuuummm!!! I’m kind of obsessed. And I didn’t even add anything but the noodles (lazy). But next time I’m going to add mushrooms, tofu and some fresh chives.
I have made this seasoning 3 times this month and I just love it soo much!!
aww yay, thank you Courtney!
YUMMY!!!! I was looking for an alternative to the high sodium packets that come with the ramen noodle package. The combination of spices really did the trick. I modified and added sweet chili sauce instead of the sugar and it worked out amazingly. I also had homemade bone broth and used that.
I’m so pleased by this.
So glad to hear it!!
So easy and sooooo delicious!!! I’ll be making this a lot this fall and winter for sure:)
I’ve just put the mix together and it smells delicious, what are the macros for this please? Per serving when making the soup? 🙏🏼
Hi! That will depend on which brand of noodles you use and broth. Since one serving is one packet of noodles, just look at the back of the package of your noodles. And of course factor in the broth you used, etc. This will greatly vary of course by whatever toppings you add as well.
Brandi!
You never disappoint. I made this tonight finally-it is delicious! I followed your recipe-yum.
aww yay, thank you Patty!!
This is a perfect alternative to the seasoning packets that come with ramen. We used the brown rice ramen noodles from Costco. I added a little umami powder from TJs to the mix. My kids LOVED this!!!
Yay, thank you Ashley!
I was making the seasoning and it smelled so good, but i wanted to know what I can substitute for the green onion because i’m allergic to green onion.
Just omit!
Dried Chives?
Brandi today after making food for tomorrow I needed something quick and easy to make for dinner. I’ve made this before and had 1 tablespoon of the seasoning left. Perfect! Along with the Ramen noodles, I added what I had in the frig: Carrots, red & orange bell peppers, Kale, zucchini, broccoli florets, red cabbage and diced tofu. I added a little bit more broth since I had so many veggies. This soup hit the spot tonight. Delicious Ramen soup. Thanks Brandi!!
This mixture is a perfect tasty blend and has even replaced my spice pack in standard ramen packages. In order to blend the spices well I put everything into a bowl with the exception of the sesame seeds, dried parsley, onion flakes and dried chives, then I shook them all through a sieve and then I added the larger spices to the sieved mix and blended with a whisk.
This really works!! My 10 years old son loves it too.
Thank you so much for the guilt free ramen 🙂
