Preparation

- In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a simmer. Add soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to combine and create a flavorful base.
Cooking
- Add frozen dumplings directly to the simmering broth. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until dumplings float to the surface and are heated through.
- Add instant ramen noodles to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Stir gently to prevent sticking.
- Add fresh spinach leaves to the hot broth and let them wilt for 1-2 minutes until bright green and tender.
Serving
- Divide noodles, dumplings, and spinach between serving bowls. Ladle hot broth over each bowl and top with halved soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, and black sesame seeds.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add garlic and ginger to the broth. Try using homemade dumplings for a unique twist. Add more vegetables like bok choy or carrots to your bowl if desired.
