Equipment

  • slow cooker
  • Meat Chopper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef I recommend sirloin (93/7)
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 medium red bell pepper sliced
  • 2-3 large scallions roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 14.25 ounces chicken stock or beef stock
  • 2 packs ramen noodles
  • sesame seeds optional
  • scallions optional

Instructions
 

  • To a large skillet over medium heat, brown the beef until no longer pink. Drain any grease, if necessary.
  • Pour the cooked beef into the basin of a 6 quart slow cooker.
  • To the slow cooker add the carrots, red bell pepper and scallions.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar and chicken stock.
  • Pour the sauce into the slow cooker and stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours.
  • Approximately 30 minutes before serving, add the dry ramen noodles.
  • Stir those around frequently to make sure they get all covered and cook evenly.
  • When the noodles are tender, serve, topping with additional scallions and some sesame seeds.

Notes

Skip the noodles and serve over rice or in lettuce leaves. Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version. For extra heat, add red pepper flakes or sriracha. Enhance flavor with fish sauce or oyster sauce in the broth. Finish with a squirt of lime juice for a bright, zesty finish. Add fresh ginger in the soup or pickled ginger on top. For more broth, use only one pack of noodles. Store leftovers in an airtight container once cooled (avoid trapping heat). Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days.
