how to make Dumpling Ramen Bowl

Ingredients:

Frozen dumplings
Instant ramen noodles
Eggs
Fresh spinach
Chicken broth
Soy sauce
Sesame oil
Green onions
Black sesame seeds

Directions:

Bring a pot of water to boil and carefully add eggs. Cook for 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled consistency. Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath and let them cool before peeling and halving.
In a large pot, bring chicken broth to a simmer. Add soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to combine and create a flavorful base.
Add frozen dumplings directly to the simmering broth. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the 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.
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.
