For the Broth

For the Ramen

For the Dumplings
  • 12 pieces Frozen Dumplings Any type works; choose pork, chicken, beef, seafood, or vegetable.
For the Toppings
  • 2 large Eggs Use plant-based alternatives for a vegan option.
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach Leaves Swap for kale or bok choy as alternatives.
  • 2 stalks Green Onions Regular onions or shallots can work too.
  • 1 tablespoon Black Sesame Seeds Optional but recommended for texture.

Equipment

  • medium pot
  • Large pot
  • Ice Bath

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by filling a medium pot with water and bringing it to a rolling boil. Carefully add the large eggs and cook them for 6-7 minutes for a perfectly soft-boiled consistency. Once done, immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.
  2. In a large pot, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil, allowing it to bubble softly for about 2 minutes.
  3. Carefully add the frozen dumplings directly into the simmering broth. Allow them to cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are heated through.
  4. Once the dumplings are cooked, gently stir in the instant ramen noodles. Let them simmer in the broth for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender and fully cooked.
  5. With the noodles cooked, add the fresh spinach leaves. Stir them gently into the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes just until they wilt.
  6. To serve, divide the noodles, dumplings, and wilted spinach evenly into bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the top, and top each bowl with a halved soft-boiled egg, sliced green onions, and black sesame seeds.
