Ingredients (serves 2)
2 soft-boiled eggs (instruction below to help boil)
8 frozen dumplings or potstickers of your choice (I’ve chosen Kimchi dumplings)
2 packs instant ramen of your choice (I’ve chosen Sapporo Ichiban Miso Ramen)
cucumber slices
thinly sliced green onion
sesame seeds
gochujang sauce
sriracha sauce
Nanami togarashi
1/4 tsp teriyaki sauce
Instructions
- Boil 7 cups of water in a large pot. After the water is boiling add the two eggs to the pot and boil for an additional 5-10 minutes depending on how soft you like them.
- while the eggs are boiling steam the dumplings either in the same pot or a separate pot (about 5 minutes or until just tender)
- Turn burner off and set pot with hot water and eggs in the sink, dump water out carefully and fill part way with cold water, repeat this process twice. Peel eggs, cut in half & set aside.
- boil 4 cup of water and add seasoning packs and ramen to it, stir. Boil for 2-3 minutes and remove from burner. Cover and let sit for 3 minutes.
- using salad tongs scoop up noodles evenly into 2 bowls, pour broth over noodles
- garnish with chopped green onion, cucumber slices, gochujang sauce, sriracha & sprinkle with Nanami togarashi & sesame seeds
- optional: pour 1/4 tsp teriyaki sauce over the eggs
Tips: It’s important to let the water boil before adding the eggs otherwise it’s very difficult to peel the shells off. I have learned this the hard way and I want to spare you the lesson! If you like a lot of broth feel free to add an extra 1/2 cup of water to the pot when you’re making the instant ramen. You can get extremely creative with this dish and use any kind of veggies, ramen, and seasonings you choose!
