Dumplings and Noodles
- Frozen dumplings – 8 to 10 pieces
- Instant ramen noodles – 1 package (about 85g)
Broth and Seasonings
- Chicken broth – 4 cups
- Soy sauce – 2 tablespoons
- Sesame oil – 1 teaspoon
Eggs and Vegetables
- Eggs – 2 large
- Fresh spinach leaves – 1 cup, packed
- Green onions – 2 stalks, thinly sliced
- Black sesame seeds – 1 teaspoon
- Prepare soft-boiled eggs: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 6 to 7 minutes to achieve a soft-boiled yolk. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
- Heat and season broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil to infuse the broth with rich, savory flavors, creating a well-balanced base for the soup.
- Cook dumplings in broth: Add the frozen dumplings directly into the simmering broth. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the dumplings float to the surface and are fully heated through, indicating they are cooked.
- Add ramen noodles: Gently add the instant ramen noodles to the pot. Allow them to cook for 2 to 3 minutes until tender. Stir carefully to prevent the noodles from sticking to each other or the bottom of the pot.
- Wilt fresh spinach: Add the fresh spinach leaves to the hot broth and noodles. Let them wilt for 1 to 2 minutes or until they turn bright green and become tender, adding freshness and nutrition to the bowl.
- Assemble and serve: Divide the cooked noodles, dumplings, and spinach between individual serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the contents. Top each bowl with halved soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra protein, consider adding cooked chicken, tofu, or shrimp.
- Adjust soy sauce quantity based on your desired saltiness level.
- Use vegetable broth as a substitute to make the dish vegetarian-friendly.
- To make peeling eggs easier, use slightly older eggs or peel under running water.
- This recipe can be customized with additional vegetables like mushrooms or corn.
