Ingredients
  

For the Broth
  • 2 pounds Beef Chuck Roast Feel free to substitute with brisket.
  • 4 cups Beef Broth Homemade broth elevates the flavor.
  • 2 cups Water
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced; using pre-minced might lessen flavor.
  • 1 large Onion Sliced; shallots can replace it.
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Grated; fresh is preferable to powdered.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Opt for gluten-free if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil Canola oil is a lighter alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar May substitute with honey or maple syrup.
For the Noodles and Toppings
  • 2 packs Fresh Ramen Noodles Egg noodles or gluten-free alternatives work well.
  • 1 cup Baby Spinach Kale or bok choy can also be substitutes.
  • 2 stalks Green Onions Sliced; swap with cilantro if preferred.
  • Soft-Boiled Eggs Optional; adds richness.
  • Sriracha or Chili Oil For a spicy kick.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides. Cut into manageable chunks.
  2. Place the seasoned beef in the bottom of the slow cooker. Layer the onions, garlic, and ginger on top.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and water, ensuring the beef is submerged. Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil, then add brown sugar. Stir gently.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. The beef should shred easily when done.
  5. Prepare the fresh ramen noodles according to package instructions (about 10 minutes).
  6. Just before serving, gently stir in the baby spinach into the slow cooker until wilted.
  7. Ladle the beef and broth over the ramen noodles in bowls, including plenty of broth.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and a half soft-boiled egg if desired. Drizzle with Sriracha or chili oil.
