Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 packs Wavy yellow ramen noodles Fresh or dried
  • 8 units Dumplings Pork, chicken, or veg
  • 4 cups (950ml) Chicken or Vegetable stock Low-sodium preferred
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Soy Sauce For color and umami
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Mirin Sweet Japanese rice wine
  • 1 tsp (5g) Ginger Freshly grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 2 units Eggs Room temperature
  • 2 heads Baby Bok Choy Lightly wilted
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Chili Oil With red flakes
  • 1 tsp (5g) Toasted Sesame Seeds White

Equipment

  • 1 Non-stick Skillet Used for pan-frying dumplings to a golden-brown.
  • 1 Medium pot For simmering the amber-brown savory broth.
  • 1 Small pot For the soft-boiled eggs.

Instructions
 

Preparation
  1. Boil eggs for 6.5 minutes, then plunge into an ice bath for 5 minutes. Peel and set aside for the gooey orange yolk.
  2. In a skillet with 1 tbsp oil, sear dumplings until bottoms are golden-brown. Steam with a splash of water for 2 minutes, then uncover to re-crisp.
  3. Sauté garlic and ginger, then add stock, soy sauce, and mirin. Simmer until the broth is a rich amber-brown.
  4. Boil ramen noodles according to package instructions. Blanch the bok choy in the simmering broth for 60 seconds until wilted.
  5. Place noodles in bowls, pour over broth, and top with dumplings, halved eggs, bok choy, scallions, sesame seeds, and droplets of chili oil.

Notes

For a clear broth, never let it reach a hard rolling boil once the soy sauce is added.
If using frozen dumplings, add an extra 2 minutes to the steaming time.
