Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs For soft-boiled topping
  • 4 cups chicken broth Use low-sodium if possible
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce For seasoning broth
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil For flavor
  • 1 bag frozen dumplings Any variety works (shrimp, chicken, or vegetable)
  • 2 packs instant ramen noodles Discard flavor packets
  • 2 cups fresh spinach Can substitute with baby bok choy or kale
  • 2 tablespoons green onions For garnish
  • 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds For garnish

Method
 

Preparation of Eggs
  1. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the eggs and let them cook for about 6-7 minutes for a perfect soft-boiled texture.
  2. Transfer the cooked eggs to an ice water bath to cool completely before peeling and halving.
Cooking the Broth
  1. In a large pot, add the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
  2. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to beautifully blend the flavors.
Cooking Dumplings and Noodles
  1. Add the frozen dumplings directly into the simmering broth. Let them cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they start to float, indicating they’re heated through.
  2. Toss in the instant ramen noodles, allowing them to cook for just 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to avoid sticking.
Finishing Touches
  1. Add the fresh spinach leaves to the hot broth, letting them wilt for about 1-2 minutes until they turn a vibrant green.
  2. Divide the noodles, dumplings, and wilted spinach among serving bowls. Ladle hot broth over each bowl.
  3. Crown each bowl with halved soft-boiled eggs, a sprinkle of sliced green onions, and a dash of black sesame seeds for extra crunch.
