Combine Ingredients

In a medium pot, combine the vegetable broth, dried shiitake mushrooms, ginger slices, and smashed garlic cloves.

Strain and Season

Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids. Return the broth to the pot. Stir in the soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, sesame oil, and maple syrup (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

Serve the broth hot with your favorite ramen noodles and toppings, such as tofu, seaweed, scallions, and vegetables.
