Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (950 ml) chicken or vegetable broth (homemade or low-sodium store-bought)
  • 2 cups (475 ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (Kikkoman preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste (white or yellow)
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 12–16 store-bought pork or vegetable dumplings (fresh or frozen)
  • Or homemade dumplings (ground pork, cabbage, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic)
  • 4 servings fresh or dried ramen noodles
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup baby spinach or bok choy
  • Soft-boiled eggs (optional)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Broth: In a large pot, combine chicken or vegetable broth with water. Add grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, miso paste, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Whisk gently to dissolve miso paste. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 15-20 minutes to meld flavors.
  2. Prepare the Dumplings: For frozen dumplings, steam or pan-fry until bottoms are golden and crisp, then add a little water and cover to steam through. For fresh dumplings, simmer gently in the broth for 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Cook ramen noodles according to package directions (3-4 minutes for fresh, 5-6 minutes for dried). Drain and rinse briefly under warm water to prevent sticking.
  4. Prepare the Toppings: Slice green onions thinly. Wash and roughly chop spinach or bok choy. For soft-boiled eggs, boil eggs for 6-7 minutes, transfer to ice water, peel, and slice in half.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Divide cooked noodles among serving bowls. Ladle hot broth over noodles including ginger and garlic bits. Nestle cooked dumplings on top, add spinach or bok choy to wilt slightly. Place halved soft-boiled eggs on the side. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Add fresh cilantro if desired.
  6. Final Touches: Taste broth and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or salt if needed. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Simmer broth gently to avoid cloudiness and bitterness. Pan-frying then steaming dumplings adds texture contrast. Fresh ramen noodles preferred but dried works well. Rinse noodles after cooking to prevent mushiness. Taste and adjust seasoning as you go. For gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free noodles/dumplings. For vegan, use vegetable broth, vegan miso paste, and vegetable or tofu dumplings.
