# Instructions:
01 -
Bring a small pot of water to a boil, enough to cook your noodles. Once boiling, add the ramen noodles and bok choy if using. Cook according to the package directions for the noodles (typically 2-3 minutes). The bok choy can cook for the same amount of time as the noodles, but you can remove it earlier if you prefer it more crisp. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat the toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the grated ginger and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
03 -
Add the peanut butter and miso paste to the saucepan. Slowly add in 2 tablespoons of the veggie broth (or hot water), stirring to combine the ingredients. Let this mixture simmer for 1 minute to meld the flavors.

Pour in the remaining veggie broth and the lite coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Stir in the soy sauce to taste, starting with 1 tablespoon and adding more if desired, depending on how salty you want the broth.
05 -
Divide the cooked noodles and bok choy evenly between two bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles. Top with your choice of garnishes such as chili oil, corn, sesame seeds, green onions, or julienned carrots. Serve immediately while hot.
