Vegan Ramen Broth

Recently, I was discussing the vegetarian ramen offered at a local restaurant with one of my friends who had quite enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I was less enthusiastic about it since, while it was a very tasty, the broth largely just seemed to be miso soup with a bit of sesame oil added to enrich it a touch. In my opinion, while this made a tasty soup (and is quite similar to something I often make, although usually with soba or udon noodles), it doesn’t really capture the level of heartiness that I want out of a ramen broth.
