Description

This delicious slow-cooked beef ramen features tender beef chuck roast simmered for hours in a flavorful broth infused with soy sauce, hoisin, garlic, and ginger. Paired with mushrooms, scallions, ramen noodles, and soft-boiled eggs, this comforting and hearty recipe delivers rich umami flavors perfect for a warming meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 6 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 ½ cups sliced mushrooms (shiitake or cremini)

For Serving

  • 4 packs ramen noodles (discard seasoning)
  • ½ cup sliced scallions
  • 4 soft-boiled eggs, halved

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cooking Vessel: Start by setting your slow cooker to low heat. If you prefer to use a stock pot on the stove, preheat it over medium heat to get ready for cooking.
  2. Add Ingredients to Cook: In the pot or slow cooker, add the beef chuck roast along with beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced mushrooms to create a flavorful base.
  3. Sear the Beef (Optional): For an extra layer of flavor, sear the beef chuck on all sides in a hot pan for about 2-3 minutes before placing it into the slow cooker or pot to deepen the taste and color.
  4. Slow Cook the Beef: Allow the beef to cook on low heat for around 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until it becomes fork-tender, releasing rich, savory flavors into the broth.
  5. Cook the Ramen Noodles: About 15 minutes before the beef is finished, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, ensuring they remain tender but firm.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Once the beef is cooked, shred it with two forks and arrange it in bowls with the noodles, ladle over the broth and mushrooms, then garnish with sliced scallions and soft-boiled egg halves for a delicious hearty meal.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, sear the beef before slow cooking, but this step is optional.
  • Discard the ramen seasoning packets as the broth will provide plenty of flavor.
  • Soft-boil eggs by simmering them for about 6-7 minutes, then cool in ice water before peeling and halving.
  • You can substitute beef chuck with brisket or short ribs for different texture variations.
  • Adjust soy sauce and hoisin to taste for saltiness and sweetness balance.
