Method
Heat the sesame oil in a large saucepan and fry the garlic and ginger for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the kombu dashi and dried shiitake mushrooms, bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes until the mushrooms have softened and the broth is fragrant.
Fry the crumbled tofu in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat for 6 minutes until browned and crumbly, then toss with a little of the soy sauce.
Lift the softened shiitake out of the broth and slice thinly, then whisk the miso paste with a ladleful of the hot broth in a small bowl until smooth and stir it back into the pot with the remaining soy sauce.
Cook the ramen noodles in boiling water according to the packet instructions, then drain well.
Divide the noodles between bowls, ladle over the miso broth, and top with the crumbled tofu, sliced shiitake, sweetcorn, a knob of vegan butter and beansprouts.
