If you’re craving for some ramen, this easy Vegan Shoyu Ramen is sure to satisfy those cravings. Not only is it perfectly warm and hearty, but the clear broth is umami-packed from the kombu and mushrooms. This ramen is topped with some homemade “Char Siu” Mushrooms that I made using a mix of fresh shiitake and oyster mushrooms.
