Instant ramen noodles
Eggs
Fresh spinach
Chicken broth
Soy sauce
Sesame oil
Green onions

Directions

Bring a pot of water to boil and carefully add the eggs. Cook for 6-7 minutes to get a soft-boiled consistency. After cooking, transfer them to an ice water bath. Let them cool before peeling and halving.
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Add soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring them together to make a flavorful base.

Toss in the fresh spinach leaves and let them wilt for 1-2 minutes until they are bright green and tender.
Divide the noodles, dumplings, and spinach between serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over each bowl and top with halved soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, and black sesame seeds.
