Ingredients

Scale

Dumplings and Noodles

  • 12 frozen dumplings
  • 2 packages instant ramen noodles

Broth and Flavorings

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Vegetables and Garnishes

  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds

Eggs

  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Cook Soft-Boiled Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil and carefully add the eggs. Cook for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled consistency. Transfer eggs to an ice water bath and let cool completely before peeling and halving them.
  2. Prepare Broth: In a large pot, bring 4 cups of chicken broth to a simmer. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil to create a flavorful base for the ramen.
  3. Cook Dumplings: Add the frozen dumplings directly to the simmering broth. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the dumplings float to the surface and are fully heated through.
  4. Add Ramen Noodles: Drop the instant ramen noodles into the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are tender. Stir gently during cooking to prevent noodles from sticking together.
  5. Wilt Spinach: Add the fresh spinach leaves to the hot broth and allow them to wilt for 1-2 minutes until bright green and tender.
  6. Assemble Bowls: Divide the noodles, dumplings, and spinach evenly between serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over each bowl. Top with the halved soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, and sprinkle with black sesame seeds for garnish.

Notes

  • For perfectly soft-boiled eggs, use room temperature eggs and start timing once water returns to boil.
  • Any variety of frozen dumplings work well—pork, chicken, or vegetable.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity based on saltiness of brand or personal preference.
  • Fresh spinach can be substituted with bok choy or other leafy greens.
  • Store leftover components separately to avoid noodles becoming mushy.
