In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and dried shiitake mushrooms to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the broth is simmering, in a separate pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the plant-based chicken chunks and cook until browned and heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Add the ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until just tender.
Add the spinach leaves to the pot and stir until wilted.
Divide the ramen noodles and broth among 4 bowls.
Top each bowl with the cooked plant-based chicken chunks, green onions, julienned carrot, and red bell pepper.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and drizzle with sriracha if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade vegetarian chicken ramen noodles!
