Fry the crumbled tofu in a dry wok over high heat for 6 minutes until well browned and crisp at the edges.
Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the dark miso paste and cook for 1 minute until it darkens slightly.
Pour in the vegetable stock and measured water, bring to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes.
Whisk the tahini, soy sauce and sesame oil into the broth until smooth.
Cook the ramen noodles in boiling water according to the packet instructions, then drain well.
