Comforting bowl of dumplings, soft-boiled eggs, ramen noodles and vibrant greens in a savory miso-soy broth.
# What You Need:
→ Broth
01 - 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
02 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon miso paste
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 thumb-size piece ginger, sliced
06 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
07 - 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
→ Dumplings
08 - 16 frozen or fresh Asian dumplings (pork, chicken, or vegetarian)
→ Eggs
09 - 4 large eggs
→ Fresh Greens & Toppings
10 - 2 cups baby spinach or bok choy
11 - 1 cup shredded napa cabbage
12 - 2 green onions, sliced
13 - 1 carrot, julienned
14 - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
15 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
→ Noodles
16 - 4 servings ramen noodles (fresh or dried)
# Directions:
01 - Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Carefully immerse the eggs and boil for 6 to 7 minutes for a soft yolk. Transfer immediately to an ice bath, peel, and reserve.
02 - Heat the sesame oil in a large pot set over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, sautéing until aromatic, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, and incorporate miso paste, whisking until dissolved. Simmer for 10 minutes.
03 - In a separate pot, cook ramen noodles following package directions. Drain thoroughly, rinse with cold water to halt cooking, and set aside.
04 - Add dumplings directly into the simmering broth. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes or according to package instructions, ensuring the dumplings float and are fully heated through.
05 - Add baby spinach, shredded napa cabbage, and julienned carrot to the broth and continue to simmer for 2 additional minutes, until greens are wilted but retain color.
06 - Distribute the cooked ramen noodles among four serving bowls. Ladle the dumplings, piping hot broth, and summer greens over each portion.
07 - Slice the soft-boiled eggs in half and arrange two halves on each bowl. Garnish with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro leaves, toasted sesame seeds, and drizzle with chili oil as desired.
08 - Present hot and enjoy while steaming.
