Serving
- Divide the noodles, dumplings, and spinach evenly between serving bowls, ladling hot broth over each.
- Top with halved soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, and black sesame seeds.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. For gluten-free, choose gluten-free ramen noodles and soy sauce. Incorporate gourmet toppings for special occasions.
