Ingredients

Scale

Broth and Seasoning

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package frozen dumplings (about 12 pieces)
  • 1 package instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves

Toppings

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare soft-boiled eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil, then carefully lower in the eggs. Cook for 6-7 minutes to achieve a soft-boiled texture. Once done, transfer eggs to an ice water bath to cool completely. Peel the eggs and slice them in half just before serving.
  2. Heat and season broth: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil to season and deepen the broth’s flavor.
  3. Cook dumplings in broth: Add the frozen dumplings directly into the simmering broth. Let them cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they float to the surface and are thoroughly heated.
  4. Add ramen noodles: Place the instant ramen noodles into the pot with the broth and dumplings. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles become tender, stirring gently to prevent sticking.
  5. Wilt fresh spinach: Add fresh spinach leaves to the pot and allow them to wilt in the hot broth for 1-2 minutes, until they turn bright green and are tender.
  6. Assemble and serve: Divide the noodles, dumplings, and spinach evenly between serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over each bowl, then top with the halved soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra richness, you can use homemade chicken broth or add a splash of mirin to the broth.
  • If you prefer vegetarian, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and use vegetarian dumplings.
  • Adjust soy sauce amount to taste if you want a less salty broth.
  • Soft-boiled eggs can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Add chili oil or fresh chili slices if you like a bit of heat.
