Ramen with Dumplings

For lunch today I had a simple meal of packaged ramen and frozen dumplings. I steamed the dumplings (I find this gives the best result, much better than microwaving) and I made the ramen in the usual way.

Master chef at work
I put the dumplings in the soup, but I dipped them in soy sauce on the side. When the dumplings were gone I added the extra soy sauce and Sriracha to the soup. I drank the rest of the broth, but didn't eat much of the noodles. I do that a lot with noodle soup - fill up on the broth and then don't eat the noodles.

Yum!
Nothing too fancy, but it was a filling lunch that didn't require much prep. The dumplings had pork and vegetables so at least I got some vegetables! I've been having chicken nuggets for lunch a lot lately and this probably beats that, nutritionally speaking.
