Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (950 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced
  • 2 spring onions, sliced (reserve green tops for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper (or black pepper)
  • 12 frozen or homemade pork or chicken dumplings
  • If making dumplings from scratch:
  • 1/2 lb (225 g) ground pork or chicken
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 24 round dumpling wrappers
  • 9 oz (250 g) ramen noodles (fresh or dried, or gluten-free noodles)
  • 2–3 cups fresh greens (baby spinach, bok choy, or kale)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional, for egg bath)
  • Chili oil or sriracha (for drizzling, optional)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Nori sheets, sliced (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Soft-Boil the Eggs: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Add eggs (straight from the fridge) and cook for 6½ minutes. Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water or cold water with a splash of rice vinegar. Let them chill for 5 minutes before peeling.
  2. Prepare the Broth: In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, sliced ginger, and spring onions. Sauté until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and white pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it bubble for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Cook the Dumplings: If using frozen dumplings, add directly to the simmering broth and cook for 6-8 minutes until they float and are heated through. If making homemade dumplings, mix ground pork, soy sauce, scallions, and ginger in a bowl. Place a teaspoon of filling in each wrapper, fold, and seal. Gently drop dumplings into simmering broth and cook for 8-10 minutes.
  4. Prepare the Ramen Noodles: In a separate pot, cook ramen noodles according to package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes for fresh noodles, 5-6 minutes for dried). Drain and rinse briefly under warm water to prevent sticking.
  5. Add the Greens: Toss fresh greens into the simmering broth during the last 2 minutes. They should wilt but stay bright green.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide cooked ramen noodles among four bowls. Ladle hot broth, dumplings, and greens over noodles. Top each bowl with a halved soft-boiled egg.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced spring onion greens, sesame seeds, and nori strips over each bowl. Drizzle with chili oil or sriracha for extra heat, if desired.

Notes

For vegetarian or vegan, use mushroom broth and veggie dumplings, and top with tofu instead of eggs. Use gluten-free noodles and tamari for gluten-free. Add greens at the end to keep them vibrant. Prep eggs first for best results. Store broth, noodles, and dumplings separately for leftovers. Garnishes like chili oil, sesame seeds, and nori add extra flavor and texture.
