In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.

Stir in the plant-based ground beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking it apart until it browns slightly.
Add the julienned carrot, gochujang, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes to the pot. Stir to combine and let cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Add the instant ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook according to the package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
In the final 2 minutes of cooking, add the baby spinach to the pot and let it wilt.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if needed with additional soy sauce or gochujang for extra spice.
Ladle the ramyeon into serving bowls, distributing the noodles, broth, and toppings evenly.
Garnish with chopped green onions, kimchi, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
