Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions, then drain, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the chili paste or chili garlic sauce and let it cook for another 1 minute to deepen its flavor.
Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring it to a simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk the soy-free miso paste with a few tablespoons of the hot broth until smooth, then stir this mixture back into the pot.
Add the coconut aminos to the broth for extra depth of flavor and adjust the spice level with more chili paste if desired.
Simmer the broth on low heat for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Prepare the toppings: julienne the carrot, rinse the baby spinach, and warm the sweet corn if needed.
Divide the cooked rice noodles into serving bowls. Ladle the hot miso broth over the noodles.
Top each bowl with spinach, julienned carrot, sweet corn, green onions, and optional garnishes like soft-boiled eggs and nori strips.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
