In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are softened.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the soy sauce, miso paste, salt, and pepper. Let the broth simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Meanwhile, in a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Add the cubed tofu, baby spinach, julienned carrot, and cooked corn to the broth. Continue to simmer for 5 more minutes until the vegetables are tender.
To serve, divide the cooked ramen noodles among four bowls. Ladle the hot broth with tofu and vegetables over the noodles.
Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions and nori strips. Serve immediately while hot.
