Ingredients

2 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning)
12–15 frozen dumplings
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
3 stalks green onions, chopped
1/2 cup mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Boil the ramen noodles for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Step 3: In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chicken or vegetable broth.
Step 4: Layer half of the cooked ramen noodles evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Step 5: Arrange the frozen dumplings evenly on top of the noodle layer.
Step 6: Add the remaining ramen noodles over the dumplings to form the top layer.
Step 7: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the entire dish. Use tongs to gently press the ingredients together for even distribution.
Step 8: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 9: Remove the foil, sprinkle the cheese or panko breadcrumbs on top, and bake uncovered for another 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Step 10: Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped green onions over the bake for fresh flavor and color.
Step 11: Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm straight from the baking dish.

Tips & Variations

Use your favorite cheese or skip it for a lighter dish.
Try adding vegetables like sliced bell peppers or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
For a spicier kick, mix in a teaspoon of chili paste or sriracha to the sauce.
If you prefer crispy dumplings, pan-fry them briefly before layering.

Storage

Store leftover Dumpling Ramen Bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or microwave individual portions, stirring halfway for even heating.

How to Serve

A white oval bowl holds a dish with a base layer of dark golden-brown crispy noodles with a rough texture.

The dumplings are garnished with thin, long green sprouts, bright red chili slices, and small green leaves scattered evenly, adding fresh pops of color. Black sesame seeds are sprinkled lightly over the dumplings and noodles. The bowl sits on a white marbled texture surface with a dark blue cloth nearby. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh dumplings instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh dumplings work well too. Adjust cooking time if needed to ensure they are fully cooked and tender before baking.

Is it necessary to discard the ramen seasoning packets?

It’s best to discard the seasoning packets because they contain salt and flavors that might not complement the sauce mixture, which already has soy and oyster sauce for flavor.
