- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil

- 4 Green onions, sliced (white parts for broth, green parts for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Miso paste
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (ensure it's gluten-free if necessary)
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha or chili paste
- 6 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 4 blocks Dry ramen noodles (vegan, check package for confirmation)

- 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, sliced

Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until aromatic.
Stir in the miso paste, soy sauce, and sriracha or chili paste. Cook for another minute to meld the flavors.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Whisk to ensure the miso paste is fully dissolved.
Add the plant-based milk and stir well to combine. Let the broth simmer on low heat while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
In a separate pan, cook the tofu cubes over medium heat until golden and crispy on all sides. Set aside.
Add the dry ramen noodles to the broth and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the shiitake mushrooms, baby spinach, and corn kernels to the pot.
Once the noodles are tender and the vegetables are cooked, ladle the ramen into bowls.
Top each bowl with crispy tofu, green onion (green parts), sesame seeds, nori strips, and a lime wedge.
Serve hot and enjoy your Vegan Spicy Ramen!
