Instructions
Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Stir in the carrots and sliced shiitake mushrooms, cooking for another 5 minutes until softened.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
Add the soy sauce (or tamari) and whisk in the miso paste until fully dissolved.
Carefully add the halved baby bok choy to the pot and simmer for 3-4 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, cook the gluten-free ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a non-stick pan, lightly pan-fry the cubed tofu until golden on all sides.
To assemble the ramen, divide the cooked noodles into serving bowls.

Top with pan-fried tofu and garnish with the green parts of the sliced onions.
If desired, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, add nori strips, or drizzle with chili oil for extra flavor.
