• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 4 hours 45 minutes

Ingredients

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

Directions

Brown the Beef

Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain excess fat.

Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker

Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker. Add matchstick carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped scallions.

Prepare the Sauce

In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, and chicken stock. Stir thoroughly to dissolve sugar.

Incorporate Sauce

Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine all components.

Slow Cook the Mixture

Cover and cook on low setting for 4 to 6 hours until the flavours meld and vegetables are tender.

Add Ramen Noodles

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.

Serve and Garnish

When noodles are tender, ladle into bowls. Top with additional sliced scallions and optional sesame seeds before serving.
