Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 frozen dumplings
  • 1 package instant ramen noodles
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Seasonings and Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare soft-boiled eggs: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently add the eggs and cook for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled consistency. Immediately transfer them to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully and slice them in half.
  2. Heat and season broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil to create a savory and aromatic broth base.
  3. Cook dumplings in broth: Add the frozen dumplings directly into the simmering broth. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the dumplings float to the surface and are thoroughly heated through.
  4. Add ramen noodles: Add the instant ramen noodles to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender, stirring gently to prevent them from sticking together.
  5. Wilt fresh spinach: Add the fresh spinach leaves to the hot broth and allow them to wilt, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes until they turn bright green and tender.
  6. Assemble and serve: Divide the cooked noodles, dumplings, and spinach into serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth evenly over the bowls. Top each serving with the halved soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a lighter or vegetarian version if using vegetarian dumplings.
  • If fresh spinach is unavailable, baby spinach or other leafy greens like bok choy can be used.
  • Adjust soy sauce quantity according to your salt preference or use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option.
  • Make sure not to overcook the eggs to maintain the creamy yolk texture.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled to serve more people.
