This Crock Pot Ramen recipe offers a comforting, easy-to-make meal that combines tender protein, fresh mixed vegetables, and classic ramen noodles all cooked slowly in flavorful chicken broth with soy sauce for a rich, savory experience.

Ingredients

Broth and Seasoning

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Noodles

  • 1 package ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packet)

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 pound protein (choice of chicken, pork, beef, or tofu)
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bok choy, bell peppers, carrots)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crock Pot: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy cleanup after cooking.
  2. Add Broth: Pour 4 cups of chicken broth into the Crock Pot, which will serve as the flavorful base for your ramen.
  3. Add Protein: Place your choice of protein—chicken, pork, beef, or tofu—directly into the broth.
  4. Incorporate Vegetables: Add 2 cups of fresh mixed vegetables like bok choy, bell peppers, and carrots to the pot for a nutritious boost.
  5. Season: Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to enhance the savory flavor of the broth and ingredients.
  6. Cook: Cover the Crock Pot and cook on low heat for 4 hours, allowing all the flavors to meld and the protein to become tender.
  7. Add Noodles: After the 4 hours of slow cooking, stir in the ramen noodles and cook for an additional 10–15 minutes until the noodles are soft and cooked through.
  8. Serve: Taste the ramen and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot immediately and enjoy a warm, hearty bowl of Crock Pot Ramen.

Notes

  • Discard the seasoning packet that comes with the ramen noodles as the broth and soy sauce provide sufficient seasoning.
  • You can customize the protein and vegetables based on your preference or availability.
  • Ensure the slow cooker is on low heat to prevent overcooking the noodles later.
  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and tofu as protein.
  • This recipe can be doubled for larger servings but may require a larger slow cooker or longer cooking time.
