Soak the noodles according to the packet directions, but instead of soaking in water, soak in diluted Massel broth. Drain right before serving.

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil, and sauté the mushrooms for 3 to 5 minutes until softened. Transfer to plate lined with paper towel.

In the same skillet over medium heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, and sauté the bok choy slices for 2 to 3 minutes until just softened. Transfer to plate lined with paper towel.

To make the base, pour the broth, coconut milk, and tamari into a large saucepan, and add the mushroom powder, garlic, ginger, Massel seasoning powder, mirin, and pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to mesh.

To serve, ladle the broth into deep ramen bowls, and add equal portions of the noodles, mushrooms, bok choy, tofu, and green onion. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes:
*To make shiitake mushroom powder, grind dried mushrooms in a spice grinder or coffee grinder until they are finely ground. On average, 1⁄4 cup (4g) dried mushrooms will yield about 2 tablespoons of powder.
**If you can't get Massel beef-flavored broth, use vegetable broth.
***If you can't get Massel beef-flavored seasoning, add salt to taste.
