Crock Pot Ramen is a comforting, slow-cooked twist on traditional Japanese noodle soup, made with tender meat, rich broth, and noodles—all cooked effortlessly in your crock pot.

Ingredients

  • 1.5–2 lbs chicken thighs or pork shoulder
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated or minced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 4 packages ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
  • Optional toppings: soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onions, baby spinach, mushrooms, shredded carrots, corn, sriracha

Instructions

  1. Place chicken thighs or pork shoulder in the crock pot.
  2. Add broth, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the meat is tender.
  4. Remove the meat, shred it with two forks, and return it to the crock pot.
  5. Add ramen noodles and any quick-cooking vegetables. Cook on high for 10–15 minutes until noodles are tender.
  6. Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes like eggs, green onions, or sriracha. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Store broth and noodles separately to prevent sogginess when reheating.
  • Add miso paste or fish sauce for extra umami flavor.
  • Make it vegetarian by using tofu and vegetable broth.
  • Try other noodles like rice noodles, soba, or udon.
  • Adjust spice level with chili oil, sriracha, or red pepper flakes.
