# How to Prepare:
01 - Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Gently add eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled. Remove, transfer to an ice bath, peel, and set aside.
02 - In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, soy sauce, and miso paste. Simmer for 10 minutes.
03 - Meanwhile, in a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
04 - Add the dumplings to the simmering broth. Cook for 4-6 minutes until dumplings float and are cooked through.
05 - Add the baby spinach, shredded cabbage, and carrot to the broth. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes until greens are wilted but still vibrant.
06 - Divide the noodles among four bowls. Ladle the dumplings, broth, and greens over the noodles.
07 - Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place two halves in each bowl. Garnish with green onions, cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil, if desired. Serve hot.
