The Health Benefits of This Vegan Ramen

Miso: Fermented and Functional

Miso is a fermented soybean paste rich in beneficial bacteria and enzymes. While heat reduces live probiotics, miso still contains bioactive compounds that support digestion and immune balance.

Fermented foods are associated with:

• Improved gut microbiome diversity

• Better digestion

• Reduced inflammatory markers

White or yellow miso keeps the broth mellow but deeply savory.

Shiitake Mushrooms: Immune Support + Umami

Shiitake mushrooms contain beta-glucans, compounds studied for immune modulation and cholesterol support.

They also naturally contain glutamates, which enhance umami flavor without needing artificial additives.

Two cups of shiitakes add both body and depth to the broth.

Ginger & Garlic: Anti-Inflammatory Duo

Fresh ginger contains gingerol, studied for its anti-inflammatory and digestive-supporting properties.

Garlic provides sulfur compounds linked to cardiovascular health and immune resilience.

Together, they warm the broth and support circulation and digestion.

Bok Choy & Spinach: Micronutrient Density

Bok choy and spinach provide:

• Vitamin K for bone health

• Vitamin A for immune function

• Folate for cellular repair

• Magnesium for muscle and nerve support

Adding them at serving preserves their texture and nutrient profile.

Carrots & Green Onion: Antioxidants + Freshness

Matchstick carrots bring beta-carotene and subtle sweetness.

Green onions add sulfur compounds and freshness that cut through the richness of the broth.

This balance is what makes the bowl feel complete.
