Then, in a large skillet, heat the chili oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the textured vegetable protein, cumin, salt and pepper, and soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) and mix in well. Then turn off the heat and set the mixture aside.

Fill a large pot with water (and some salt) and bring it to a boil. Once it boils, add the bok choy leaves and cook them for about 2 minutes until softened. Take them out with tongs or a fork and set aside.
Step 4
Add the ramen noodles (or rice noodles) to the same boiling water and cook until al dente (they should be still chewy, not soft), then drain.

Finely chop the scallions and set them aside in a small bowl, along with the chili oil in a different bowl to garnish.
Step 6
Heat the chili oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the garlic, ginger, and onion for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Add the tahini (or sesame paste), peanut butter, and rice vinegar (if using), then stir to combine.
Step 7
Next, add the dairy-free milk and the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to low-medium and let the soup simmer for a few minutes. Finally, add salt and pepper, plus optionally more soy sauce, rice vinegar, or spices to taste.
