Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, spray a bit of cooking oil and add the ground beef along with green onions and minced garlic. Cook for about 6-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the beef is browned and no longer pink.
  2. Transfer the browned beef mixture to your crockpot and add the cole slaw mix, shredded carrots, chicken broth, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and grated ginger. Mix everything well.
  3. Cover the crockpot and set it to LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours.
  4. After the initial cooking time, stir in the frozen edamame. Break the ramen noodles into smaller pieces and gently place them in the warm broth. Cover the crockpot and switch to HIGH, cooking for another 15-30 minutes until the noodles are tender.
  5. Remove the lid and mix in the chopped green onion tops and fresh cilantro. Ladle the ramen into bowls and top with garnishes like sriracha, sesame seeds, or additional herbs.
