This under 30-minute dinner is packed with flavor from the turmeric curry powder. Inspired by one of my favorite ramen spots in LA, I wanted to create a plant-based curry ramen to enjoy at home.
Ramen Noodles
The 2 most important factors for me when tasting ramen are 1. the noodles, and 2. the broth. I've been on a hunt to find delicious ramen noodles to add to my homemade ramen. One of my favorites I've found has been this Lotus Foods Brown Rice and & Millet Ramen Noodle. I like the consistency of the noodles but still have yet to find a super thick noodle that replicates ramen at a ramen restaurant (let me know in the comments if you have any recommendations!).
Getting Flavors for a Curry Ramen in a Short Amount of Time
As we know, the broth and the flavor in the broth is such a crucial component to a ramen dish. The trick to get flavors in such a short time is the first few minutes of stirring, add in your seasonings. This will coat your veggies and tofu in the seasoning.
Then, after you add your veggie broth, bring it to a boil then simmer so the flavors can be infused in the broth. The longer you simmer, the more liquid will evaporate, infusing the broth with more flavor.
