Ingredients
- 1 pound (454 g) lean ground beef
- 9 ounces (255 g) coleslaw mix, about 4 cups
- 2 cups (300 g) shredded carrots
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2/3 cup (160 ml) soy sauce
- 2 cups (480 ml) beef stock
- 1 teaspoon (4.2 g) brown sugar
- 2 (85 g) packages ramen noodles, flavoring packets discarded or saved for another use
Instructions
- Warm a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground beef into the pan, breaking it into small pieces, and cook until it turns brown and is fully cooked through, roughly 5 minutes.
- Carefully move the browned beef to a 6-quart slow cooker. Mix in the coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, minced garlic, soy sauce, beef stock, and brown sugar, stirring everything together until well combined.
- Secure the lid and let it cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-6 hours, until the vegetables have softened and the mixture is bubbling. Avoid removing the lid during this period.
- Switch to high heat if not already set, and incorporate the ramen noodles, ensuring they are immersed in the sauce. Cook on high for another 5-15 minutes or until the noodles reach the desired tenderness. Serve promptly, adding any preferred garnishes.
Notes
- Consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of lean ground beef for a healthier option.
- Enhance the flavor by adding a splash of rice vinegar or sesame oil.
- Customize the dish with extra vegetables like bell peppers or snow peas, or make it spicier with a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes.
