Vegan Sesame Noodle Soup

Easy Rich Sesame Noodle Soup

Usually, a nice broth takes hours to prepare. Luckily this is not the case for this easy Vegan Sesame Noodle Soup. You can prepare this broth in less than 15 minutes. Perfect for when you want a nice warm bowl of noodle soup but don’t have time to prepare a complex broth.

Vegan Sesame Broth

The broth is the star of the vegan sesame noodle soup. So take your time to prepare the broth and taste and adjust the broth to your wishes. The sesame and soy give the broth a creamy flavour. While the vegetable bouillon and soy sauce add a salty flavour and give the broth more depth.

Vegan Noodles

Unfortunately, some noodles contain eggs. So always make sure you read the ingredients before deciding which noodles you’ll use for this recipe. I recommend using ramen noodles for this recipe because this recipe is inspired by sesame ramen. However this is not mandatory, the broth tastes nice with other noodles as well. So you can also use anything you have at home as I did with rice noodles.

Vegan Toppings

You can add any toppings you like to this vegan sesame noodle soup. I do recommend adding some protein and vegetables for a nice balance.

For the protein I used dried soy meat. Before baking I soaked them in cooked water for 5 minutes. The soy meat has a nice structure and soaks up flavour really well making it perfect for a soup.

For the vegetables I decided to use something I already had at home that would fit the broth and the soy meat. The first vegetable I chose was corn. Corn is always a safe option when it comes to noodle soups. The second vegetable I chose was leek. Leek is also great to add to soups and the green with the yellow really made this bowl pop.

But there are many vegetables you can use other examples would be cabbage, bean sprouts, spring onions, bok choy, or spinach.

Ingredients

550ml Bouillon (broth) 450ml Soy milk (broth) 1tbsp Sesame oil (broth) 2 tbsp Soy sauce (broth) 6 tbsp Sesame paste (broth) 100g Soy meat 2 minced garlic cloves (for the soy meat) 1 tbsp Soy sauce (for the soy meat) 1 tbsp Miso paste (for the soy meat) 1 tbsp Chili oil (for the soy meat) Vegetables of your choice. I used leek and corn (toppings) Chili oil and Sesame seeds for garnish. (toppings)

Instructions

The sesame broth

1. Combine the Bouillon and soy milk in a pan on high heath and wait until the broth starts to boil. When the broth starts to boil turn the heath to medium. The soy milk can foam a little so you don't want the broth to boil too long on high temperature.
2. Add 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp Soy sauce and 6 tbsp sesame paste to the broth. Mix until all the ingredients have dissolved.

The noodles

1. You can use any noodles you like. Just cook the noodles in boiling water until they become soft but not sticky. Usually the package of the noodles also contains specific instructions which you can follow.
2. Usually noodles stick together when you put them in a bowl directly after cooking. To prevent this drain and toss the noodles in a colander. Sticking can also be prevented by rinsing the cooked noodles with cold water. 

The toppings

1. Soak the Soy meat for 5 minutes in cooked water. After 5 minutes the soy will become soft.
2. Bake the Soy meat golden brown with a little oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp Soy sauce, 1 tbsp Miso paste and 1 tbsp Chili oil.
3. Cut the leek in small pieces. Wash the leek and bake the leek a few minutes on low heath. Make sure you don't bake the leek too long. It tastes nicer when the leek is still a little crispy. 
4. For the corn I used canned corn. You can warm the corn a little before adding it to the soup. But you don't have to cook the corn.

Putting everything together

1. Make sure the broth is warm before serving. If the broth has cooled down you can heath the broth on the stove.
2. Add the noodles to a bowl.
3. Add the baked soy meat, leek and corn.
4. Pour the soup at the edges of the bowl. Try to avoid the toppings. This way your bowl will look a lot cleaner.
5. (optional )Add some sesame seeds and chili oil for extra flavour.

Enjoy!
