Broth
In a medium pot, melt the Crystal Margarine over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallions, and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, and sesame paste, stirring to combine, then add the dashi. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to develop the broth, then adjust the seasoning to taste with more soy sauce, if needed.
Noodles and Garnish
While the broth simmers, sauté the baby bok choy, corn, and shitake mushrooms with Crystal margarine over medium heat until tender, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. Cook the ramen noodles separately according to package directions.
To Serve
Drain and divide noodles evenly into four bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles and top with the sautéed vegetables and soft-boiled egg. Garnish with a drizzle of chili oil, sliced scallions, and a pinch of toasted sesame seeds.
