Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Broth Ingredients

  • 2–3 lbs beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into large chunks
  • 1/4 cup vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (natural)
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (natural)
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)

Vegetables and Garnishes

  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced

Noodles

  • 8 oz ramen noodles (or substitute with soba, udon, or rice noodles)

Other

  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent dissolved in cold water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef and Broth: Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut into large chunks. Combine beef, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), soy sauce (natural), vegetable broth, garlic, ginger, brown sugar (natural), sesame oil (natural), and apple cider vinegar (natural) in the slow cooker. Stir well to blend all ingredients.
  2. Slow Cook the Beef: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 hours until the beef is tender and easily shredded, allowing the broth to absorb deep, rich flavors.
  3. Prepare the Broccoli and Noodles: About 30 minutes before serving, add broccoli florets to the slow cooker to maintain their vibrant color and crunch. Cook ramen noodles separately according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
  4. Add the Natural Gelling Agent: Whisk the natural gelling agent dissolved in cold water into the broth gently, ensuring even distribution without clumps to give the broth a silky texture.
  5. Assemble the Ramen Bowls: Divide cooked noodles into bowls. Ladle beef, broccoli, and broth over the noodles. Garnish with freshly sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose well-marbled beef chuck roast for tender, flavorful meat.
  • Add broccoli near the end of cooking to keep it fresh and slightly crisp.
  • Use fresh garlic and ginger to enhance the broth’s aroma and brightness.
  • Dissolve the natural gelling agent properly before adding to avoid lumps.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning at the end with extra soy sauce or brown sugar if needed.
