Spicy Miso Ramen

Do you ever try something at a restaurant and just go back home wishing you could have it every day? That’s me with ramen every. single. time. So I finally tackled this obsession and made this 30 min Spicy Miso Ramen with soba noodles (cause you know... celiac disease) but you can use any noodles of your choice!

This Spicy Miso Ramen with a creamy coconut miso broth is the perfect recipe for a lazy night in. It is quick and easy and a great healthy dinner idea you can throw together in less than 35 min making it the perfect winter soup.

I love making it in big batches and store in the fridge for an easy ready to go dinner. If you are not a fan of buckwheat try to substitute with rice or udon noodles!
