Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 packs Ramen Noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 12–15 Frozen Dumplings
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Oyster Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
  • 1 cup Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • 3 stalks Green Onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella or Cheddar Cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Noodles: Bring water to a boil, add ramen noodles and cook for 2 minutes only. Drain well to avoid sogginess since they will continue cooking in the oven.
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir until well incorporated.
  4. Layer the Dish: Place half of the cooked ramen noodles evenly into the greased baking dish. Arrange the frozen dumplings in a single layer evenly on top of the noodles, then cover with the remaining noodles.
  5. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the layered noodles and dumplings. Use tongs or a spatula to gently press the layers together so the sauce distributes evenly.
  6. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to cook the dumplings through and allow flavors to meld.
  7. Add Cheese and Finish Baking: Remove the foil, sprinkle the mozzarella or cheddar cheese (or panko breadcrumbs if preferred) over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped green onions to add freshness and color. Let the dish cool slightly before serving warm straight from the baking dish.

Notes

  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute oyster sauce with a vegetarian stir-fry sauce and use vegetable broth.
  • Frozen dumplings can be used straight from the freezer; no need to thaw before assembling.
  • For a crispier top, add panko breadcrumbs mixed with a little melted butter along with or instead of the cheese.
  • This dish can be made ahead and refrigerated; bake covered initially then add cheese just before the final baking step.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and ginger to taste for stronger or milder flavor.
