Soy Sauce Broth Ramen. Shoyu is just one of several types of ramen. Other common categories include shio, tonkotsu, and miso ramen. Among these, the soy sauce version is noted for its curly noodles and tangy, salty and savory, but light broth.
Soy sauce is added to a pot of bones (usually chicken), vegetables and water, and everything is simmered together to make a light brown broth. Vegan Shoyu Ramen has a rich soy-sauce-based broth accented by sesame oil and black pepper. It's easy to make and versatile with different toppings.

I've done a bit of cooking different styles of plant-based ramen since starting the blog. Shoyu is such a classic style of ramen that I wanted to develop my own. Classically, ramen chefs added shoyu broth to chicken and pork ramen, but it's not uncommon now to find it in tonkotsu and beef broths. You want a prominent soy flavor in shoyu, so don't hesitate to add more tare or soy sauce to taste.
Soy Sauce Broth Ramen instructions
- Use regular dashi ingredients you can buy at the supermarket. The packet in the back in the photo is a "dashi package" that contains a convenient mixture of thick shards of mackerel, bonito and so on..
- These are pork knuckles and back fat. You can get them at a supermarket or from a butcher. You may even be able to get the back fat for free..
- Make the soup: The day before, combine the ● ingredients and leave to soak overnight. Put this in the refrigerator in the summer..
- Tie up the chicken breast pieces with kitchen twine. Cut up the ○ vegetables. You can leave the peel and skins on..
- Wash the knuckles well under running water. Take off the bloody bits. Put in a plastic bag, break in half using a hammer, and put in a large deep pot with lots of water..
- A 7 to 10 liter capacity pot is the best. A pasta pot for instance, works well..
- Bring to a boil over high heat. When it comes to a boil, a lot of scum will come to the surface, so skim off diligently..
- When there is no more scum coming out, put in the rolled chicken and all the vegetables. Simmer over medium heat for about 2 hours..
- Stir it up from the bottom with a wooden spatula occasionally..
- Make the char siu: Combine the ☆ ingredients in another pot. Take the simmered chicken rolls out after 2 hours and put into the pot with the ☆ ingredients. Cover with a small lid that sits on top of the contents of the pot (drop lid or otoshibuta) and simmer for an hour. Turn the rolls over occasionally..
- When the chicken rolls have soaked the flavors and become a dark brown color, cool down a bit, put into an airtight bag with the sauce and chill in the refrigerator. If you close the bag while submerging the chicken in the liquid, you can eliminate all the air..
- Make the soy sauce based sauce: Take out the dashi stock, konbu seaweed and shiitake mushrooms rested overnight from Step 3 into a small pan. Add a handful of dried sardines, and leave to soak for about 30 minutes..

- Make a well in the middle of the flour, and add the beaten egg and butter. Cover with flour, and scoop up with both hands from the bottom of the bowl to distribute the egg mixture evenly..
- It will still be crumbly as shown here. Keep scooping up from the bottom and rubbing the flour together, until it turns crumbly and flaky..
- When it looks crumbly and flaky like this, press while putting your weight on it to bring it together into a ball of dough. It will still be a bit crumbly, but that's fine..
- Wrap the dough in a moistened and tightly wrung out cloth. Put the wrapped dough in a plastic bag, and leave to rest for 2 to 3 hours..
- Roll about a fist-sized portion of the dough through a pasta machine, adjusting the setting from 1 → 2 → 3..

- Addendum 1: The amount of soy sauce based sauce and soup to finish is just a guideline. Prepare a little beforehand and taste to see if the ratio is right for you..
- Addendum 2: I used chicken breasts this time to make the char siu, but you can make it with pork rib, leg, or butt also..
