Cooking Instructions

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and season it generously with salt and pepper. Set your slow cooker to the 'low' setting.
Place the seasoned beef chuck roast into the slow cooker and surround it with sliced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Pour in the beef broth and water, add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar; stir gently to combine.
Cover your slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Prepare the fresh ramen noodles according to the package instructions about 10 minutes before serving.
Stir in the baby spinach into the hot broth, allowing it to wilt for just a couple of minutes.
In deep bowls, place a serving of the cooked noodles, then ladle the savory beef and broth mixture over the top.
Top your servings with sliced green onions for a fresh crunch, and consider adding a soft-boiled egg.
