Immi Spicy Red Miso Ramen

Immi has built their brand around high protein, plant-based, low-carb instant ramen and I’ve now worked my way through several of their flavors. The Spicy Red Miso is the one I enjoyed most out of everything I tried from them. I liked it more than the Black Garlic Chicken, more than the Creamy Chicken, and more than the Spicy Beef.

Produced in China. Packed in United States.

What’s in the Package

Inside the Immi Spicy Red Miso Ramen package, you will find the standard rectangular block of high-protein, air-dried noodles and a single green seasoning sachet labeled “Spice Up Your Life.” This sachet contains the red miso base.

How to Prepare It

1. Bring 2 cups (475ml) of water to a rolling boil.
2. Drop the noodles in. Cook for 7-9 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat and stir in the green sachet.
4. Let it sit for 1 minute before serving.

How Does It Taste

The first flavor that comes through is mushroom which I liked since it was a little earthy. Whether it’s actually miso doing the heavy lifting or the mushroom flavor carrying most of the character I can’t say for certainr. What I taste is an earthy, slightly spicy broth that works better than any of the other Immi flavors I’ve tried.

The spice is subtle. It’s present enough to notice but not enough to call it spicy.

The noodles are consistent with the Immi range. They’re thin, wavy, and with the slightly gritty texture that comes from the pea protein. It’s a familiar trade-off at this point across all of their products. The texture takes some adjusting to but the flavor of this particular broth makes it easier to overlook.

How Does It Compare

Within the Immi lineup on the site this is the one I’d recommend first. If you’re trying Immi for the first time start here.

How to Level It Up

I would add sautéed mushrooms. Shiitake or cremini work well. King oyster mushrooms sliced and seared are even better.

Crispy fried tofu adds protein and a satisfying crunch that would be nice against the soft noodles.

Shredded rotisserie chicken is the quickest protein upgrade if you want something more substantial. The clean chicken flavor doesn’t fight the mushroom broth and it makes this a filling meal. Green onions on top finish the bowl.

Final Verdict

The Immi Spicy Red Miso Ramen is the standout in the brand’s lineup. The noodle texture is a consistent limitation across the brand but this broth makes it the easiest to overlook.
