Are there vegetarian and vegan noodle soups in Japan?

by

In Japan, there are also eateries that serve tasty vegetarian and vegan noodle soups with vegetables and vegetable proteins. However, these are dishes that are not as widespread as classic Japanese noodle soups that are either made with fish, pork or chicken.

Vegetarian and vegan noodle soups are an underrated dish in Japan as well. Often, a stock made from unique Japanese vegan ingredients will have a stronger flavor with more nuances of flavor. There are several reasons for this.

As most people know, a banana has several flavors depending on whether it is eaten when it is unripe, ripe or overripe. The same applies to other Japanese raw materials. This means that the same soup can taste very different depending on when in the season the ingredients are used to make the soup.

This also means that you can help decide how intense and deep the noodle soup flavor should be without the need for spices or additives.

Several people have asked how to make healthy and tasty vegetarian and vegan noodle soups. I have made this little mini ebook: 5 vegetarian Japanese noodle soups for one, where you learn step by step how to make tasty soups.

What kind of stock is used for noodle soups in Japan?

by

Sushi chef & sake sommerlier Zoë Escher
In Japan, many different kinds of stock are used for noodle soups.
The most popular are fish, pork and chicken. In Tokyo, restaurants and dinning places often make stock from scratch. Some stock takes many hours to make as Japanese ingredients are added at different stages in the preparation of the stock. The Japanese ingredients add to the stock gives the unique taste and aromas that characterize Japanese soups in Japan.

They are a little different what the Japanese families do.
Not all families have time for a busy day to make a stock. In Tokyo, supermarkets sell different types of stock. Some funds need to be dissolved in boiling water, while others are available by the glass.

Just like in Denmark, stocks can be bought in powder form or, as ready-made in a supermarket, but it can never replace a stock that is made from scratch. A stock made from scratch has a completely different taste and aromas that are not available in the powder version.
