Slow Cooker Pork Ramen

The complex flavors of ramen are made easy with this Slow Cooker Pork Ramen recipe with all the fresh yummy toppers you could want!

Last summer we took a trip to Korea and Japan and ate our way through the city, you guys it was amazing and yes, someday I’ll tell you all about it!

But, right now I want to tell you about this ramen. I’ve always been a fan of ramen from the days in college with the styrofoam cups and cheap overly salted packets. But, the ramen we had was the kind of thing you dream about.

I’ve always wanted to make ramen at home but it takes forever to get all the complex flavors and let’s be real, no one has time for that. But, a slow cooker version, that’s a bit of a hack and still pretty tasty, yep I can do that!

Under 30 minutes to get it to the slow cooker, this is quick to make, simple and delicious! The pork simmers away all day making dinner easy and the broth super flavorful. Grab your bowl and flavorful toppings kids, this stuff is yummy!
