Instructions
How to Make Slow Cooker Beef Ramen Noodles
Season your beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.
Place the seasoned beef in the slow cooker, then layer with sliced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Pour in the beef broth and water, then add soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and set your slow cooker to low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Cook fresh ramen noodles according to package instructions about 10 minutes before serving.
Stir in the baby spinach until wilted.
Ladle the broth and beef over the cooked noodles in deep bowls.
Garnish with green onions and soft-boiled eggs if desired, and drizzle with Sriracha or chili oil.
Notes
Store leftovers in airtight containers and consume within 3-4 days for best quality. Freeze broth and beef mixture separately; noodles can last up to 3 months but should be cooked fresh when serving leftovers.
