How to Make Slow Cooker Beef Ramen Noodles

Step 1: Prepare the Beef & Broth
Place the sliced beef in the slow cooker. Add beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, honey, red pepper flakes, rice vinegar, black pepper, mushrooms, carrots, and green onions. Stir to combine.

Step 2: Slow Cook
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and flavors have melded.

Step 3: Add the Noodles & Greens
About 15 minutes before serving, add the ramen noodles and bok choy (or spinach) to the slow cooker. Stir gently to submerge the noodles. Let them cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4: Serve & Garnish
Ladle the ramen into bowls. Top with soft-boiled eggs, extra green onions, sesame seeds, and any other favorite toppings. Enjoy hot!

Serving Suggestions

• Add sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Serve with a side of steamed dumplings or edamame.
• Drizzle with chili oil or extra soy sauce for more flavor.

Storage & Reheating Tips

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Freeze broth and beef separately (without noodles) for up to 2 months. Add fresh noodles when reheating.
• Reheat: Warm on the stovetop or microwave, adding extra broth if needed.
