Equipment

Method
 

Make the broth
  1. Bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a Dutch oven, then whisk in the white miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil until smooth.
  2. Keep the broth at a gentle simmer as you prep the remaining components so it stays hot but does not boil hard.
Cook dumplings and bok choy
  1. Add the frozen pork or chicken dumplings to the simmering broth and cook for 5–7 minutes, until cooked through.
  2. Add the halved bok choy and cook for 2–3 minutes, until wilted and bright green.
Cook the ramen noodles
  1. Cook the fresh ramen noodles separately according to package instructions, then drain.
Assemble bowls
  1. Divide the drained ramen noodles between 4 bowls, then ladle the dumplings and soy-miso broth over the noodles.
  2. Top each bowl with halved soft-boiled eggs, corn, sliced green onions, nori, sesame seeds, and chili oil.

Notes

For the cleanest broth flavor, keep the heat at a gentle simmer after whisking in miso (avoid a hard boil). Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 3 days; ramen noodles may soften, so reheat gently and add a splash of broth if needed. Freezing isn’t recommended because eggs and noodles change texture. For a dairy-free option, the recipe is already dairy-free; for gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce and gluten-free ramen noodles.
