This is also Korean style in that it uses Gochujang paste. It is truely satisfying and flavoursome. It will be difficult to go back to pork ramen after trying this recipe!

- Heat the Ramen Noodles on low heat for 15 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, and gochujang and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the rice wine vinegar, coconut milk, soy sauce, chicken stock, tahini, shitake mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Tips:
- If you want a spicier soup, add more gochujang to taste.
- You can also add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, mushrooms, or onions.
- To make the soup ahead of time, simply cook all of the ingredients except for the ramen noodles and bok choy. Let the soup cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat, then stir in the cooked ramen noodles and bok choy.
