Ingredients

Dumplings

Fresh pork, chicken, shrimp, vegetable, mushroom, tofu, or crab dumplings (frozen or fresh) – about 6-8 per serving

Noodles

Ramen noodles (fresh, dried, or gluten-free) – 100g per serving

Eggs

Eggs – 2 per serving, soft-boiled

Greens

Baby spinach, bok choy, kale, or napa cabbage – 1 cup fresh per serving
Optional: shredded carrots, bean sprouts, snap peas – ¼ cup each

Broth

Chicken, vegetable, or miso broth – 3 cups
Minced garlic – 2 cloves
Grated fresh ginger – 1 tablespoon
Soy sauce – 2 tablespoons (use tamari for gluten-free)
Sesame oil – 1 teaspoon

Toppings (Optional)

Sliced green onions – 2 tablespoons
Chili flakes – ¼ teaspoon or to taste
Toasted sesame seeds – 1 teaspoon
Chili oil or sriracha – 1 teaspoon

Instructions

Prepare the Broth: Warm the broth in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and let the flavors infuse for about 10 minutes. Add soy sauce and a dash of sesame oil, stirring gently to deepen the flavor profile.
Cook the Dumplings: While the broth simmers, cook the dumplings according to package instructions or homemade recipe. You can boil, steam, or pan-fry them until they are cooked through and, if pan-frying, golden brown.
Perfect Soft-Boiled Eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower eggs into the boiling water and cook for exactly 6-7 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to halt cooking. Once cooled, peel carefully to reveal the soft, jammy yolk.
Boil the Ramen Noodles: Cook ramen noodles in salted boiling water until tender but still springy, about 2-3 minutes for fresh noodles or according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Assemble the Bowl: Place noodles in a serving bowl. Ladle hot broth over the noodles. Arrange cooked dumplings on top. Slice the soft-boiled eggs in half and nestle them into the bowl. Add fresh greens and any optional toppings such as green onions, chili flakes, toasted sesame seeds, or chili oil.

Notes

Simmer broth with kombu or dried shiitake mushrooms for extra umami flavor.
Use a timer for perfectly soft-boiled eggs every time.
Try homemade dumplings to customize fillings and flavors.
Do not overcook noodles; they should have a slight chewiness.
Add fresh greens last to keep them crisp and vibrant.
Frozen dumplings work great and save prep time.
Use tamari and gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free version.
Add chili oil or sriracha for a spicy kick.
