Ingredients

Scale

For the beef and broth:

  • 1 kg (2 lbs) beef chuck roast or stew meat, cut into chunks
  • 4 cups beef broth (low sodium)
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

For the ramen:

  • 3–4 packs of instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup baby spinach or bok choy
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Place the beef chunks in the slow cooker.
  2. Make the broth: In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and chili flakes (if using). Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
  3. Cook the beef: Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
  4. Shred the beef: Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the broth.
  5. Cook the ramen noodles: Add the instant ramen noodles, carrots, and spinach (or bok choy) to the slow cooker. Stir gently to submerge the noodles in the broth. Cover and cook on high for 5–7 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
  6. Serve: Ladle the beef, noodles, and vegetables into bowls. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and soft-boiled eggs if desired. Serve immediately.
