In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Meanwhile, prepare the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a separate skillet, cook the plant-based chicken strips over medium heat until golden brown and heated through, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
To assemble, divide the cooked ramen noodles into four bowls. Ladle the hot broth and vegetables over the noodles.
Top with the cooked plant-based chicken strips, sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and optional soft-boiled eggs or red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Spicy Chicken Ramen!
