I see there are two types of vegetarian broth – one is soy milk based which appears milky and the other type is more clear looking!
I do not really like soy milk based broth! Can anyone help me out with what exactly the broth in clear looking vegetarian Ramen made of?
I would really love to explore restaurants with vegan Ramen that specifically use non-soy milk based broth!
I’m attaching the picture of the best Ramen I’ve ever had in USA. It’s called Yaraku Ramen in New Jersey. That’s the kind of Ramen I like.
Is there any specific kind of restaurant I should look for?

It’s probably just a heavily seasoned veggie or mushroom broth.
Lots of questions.
Classic vegetarian/vegan japanese broth is a kombu and shiitake dashi.
Most decent ramen places will offer at least one vegan dish if not more – you just need to call and ask. Non soy milk broths usually are based on miso, but the variations beyond that are endless – dashi, mushrooms, vegetables, etc.
The broth could be a ton of different things, but a good restaurant will usually give some of that information. If it’s the “flavoring” ie salt base your after, that should be listed too. A lot of vegan ramen goes for miso as it provides a bit more body.
I make a shojin dashi for my broth normally.
8c water
20g kombu
20g dried mushrooms I do a mix of shiitake and others
2 pinch saffron (optional)
Let sit in fridge 24 hours.
With a good tare this has been an amazing broth for my ramen and it’s vegan on top.
Danggg I wouldn’t ever order vegetarian ramen but if it looked Like this I’d be super down to order this one!
Woah, this place isn’t too far from me. Thanks for the suggestion!
You’re probably tasting a kombu and shiitake dashi broth!
