Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package Frozen dumplings
  • 2 packs Instant ramen noodles
  • 4 large Eggs For soft-boiled eggs
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach
  • 4 cups Chicken broth Can be substituted with vegetable broth for a vegan version
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
  • 4 stalks Green onions Sliced for topping
  • 1 tablespoon Black sesame seeds For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and carefully add the eggs. Cook for 6-7 minutes for that perfect soft-boiled consistency.
  2. Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath and let them cool before peeling and halving.
  3. In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil to create a flavorful base.
Cooking
  1. Toss the frozen dumplings directly into the simmering broth. Cook for 8-10 minutes until they float and are heated through.
  2. Add the instant ramen noodles to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender, stirring gently to prevent sticking.
  3. Add the fresh spinach leaves to the hot broth and let them wilt for 1-2 minutes until bright green and tender.
  4. Divide the noodles, dumplings, and spinach between serving bowls. Ladle hot broth over, then top with halved soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for about 3 days, keeping the broth and toppings separate. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid rubbery noodles. For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of chili oil.
