Ingredients
Scale
Broth and Soup Base
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon miso paste
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece ginger, sliced
Dumplings and Toppings
- 8 frozen or homemade dumplings
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach or baby bok choy
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Nori sheets, optional, for garnish
- Fresh cilantro, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Soft-Boiled Eggs: Begin by boiling water in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, carefully add the eggs and boil them for exactly 6 minutes. Remove the eggs and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, add the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, miso paste, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring this mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook the Dumplings: While the broth is simmering, cook the dumplings according to their package instructions. You can either boil, steam, or pan-fry them as per your preference.
- Wilt the Greens: Reduce the heat of the broth to low and add the spinach or baby bok choy. Let the greens wilt slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Eggs: Peel the soft-boiled eggs and slice them in half.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the broth evenly among four bowls. Add cooked dumplings and greens to each bowl.
- Add Toppings: Top each bowl with two egg halves, green onions, julienned carrots, and sesame seeds.
- Garnish: Garnish with nori sheets and fresh cilantro, if desired.
- Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your savory dumpling ramen bowl.
Notes
- You can choose to boil, steam, or pan-fry the dumplings based on your texture preference.
- Using an ice bath for the eggs stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
- Substitute fresh greens based on availability; baby bok choy or spinach work well.
- Adjust the amount of miso paste and soy sauce to suit your taste for saltiness and depth.
- For added spice, consider topping with chili oil or fresh sliced chili peppers.
- Vegetarian broth can be used to keep the recipe vegetarian-friendly.
