Rehydrate the soy curls or TVP by soaking them in hot water for about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautΓ©ing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the soy sauce. Stir to combine the flavors and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the rehydrated soy curls or TVP into the broth, stirring well to ensure they are coated with flavor.
Drop in the vegan ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
While the noodles are cooking, add the carrot and half of the green onions to the soup, allowing them to soften slightly.
Stir in the baby spinach and let it wilt into the soup for about a minute.
Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as desired.
Serve the ramen hot, garnishing each bowl with the remaining green onions for an extra touch of freshness.
