Instructions
Tofu Crumbles:

In a pot with oil, stir-fry the minced garlic and the white part of the scallion until fragrant.

Reduce the heat, then add the following sauces: tahini, peanut butter, sesame oil, gochujang, and soy sauce. Mix them together until a thick paste forms.
-
Add water to the paste, stirring thoroughly. Bring it to a soft boil.

Incorporate soy milk, but be cautious not to boil the soup excessively, as soy milk tends to curdle at high temperatures.

Season with salt and set the broth aside while you prepare the toppings.

Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, then drain and rinse.
-
Blanch the bok choy and corn in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain and rinse.
