Description
Slow Cooker Beef Ramen Noodles is a delicious and comforting dish made with ground beef, vegetables, and ramen noodles cooked slowly to blend flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 450 grams ground beef
- 150 grams matchstick carrots
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 to 3 scallions, roughly chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 120 millilitres low sodium soy sauce
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 410 millilitres chicken stock
- 2 ramen noodle cakes
- Sesame seeds, optional
- Additional scallions, sliced, optional
Instructions
- Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain excess fat.
- Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker. Add matchstick carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped scallions.
- In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, and chicken stock. Stir thoroughly to dissolve sugar.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine all components.
- Cover and cook on low setting for 4 to 6 hours until the flavours meld and vegetables are tender.
- Approximately 30 minutes before serving, remove and discard ramen seasoning packets. Add the dry noodles directly into the slow cooker. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking and noodle absorption.
- When noodles are tender, ladle into bowls. Top with additional sliced scallions and optional sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the cooking time based on your slow cooker and desired tenderness of the vegetables.
- Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bok choy or snap peas, for more variety.
- For a spicier version, consider adding red pepper flakes or sriracha sauce.
