Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 to 3 pounds bone-in beef roast blade roast works great
  • 6 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 3 tablespoons tamari or low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3 teaspoons Sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 8 ounces sliced crimini mushrooms
  • 4 baby bok choy or 3 large bok choy stalks chopped into 3-inch pieces
  • 6 radishes thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces udon noodles

Method
 

  1. Add the beef broth, tamari, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, Sriracha, and mirin to your slow cooker and give it a good stir. Nestle the beef roast into the broth and scatter the mushrooms around it.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the beef is completely tender and basically falling apart when you look at it.
  3. Lift the roast out, pull the meat off the bone, and shred it. Put the shredded beef back into the slow cooker.
  4. About 10 minutes before you’re ready to eat, add the chopped bok choy and let it soften in the hot broth.
  5. While that’s happening, cook the udon noodles according to the package directions and drain them.
  6. To serve, ladle the soup into bowls, add noodles to each one, and top with sliced radishes if you like a little crunch. Eat immediately while everything is steamy and comforting.

Notes

This is the kind of soup that makes your kitchen smell like you’ve been cooking all day, even if you barely touched it.
It’s warm, rich, a little spicy, and full of slurpy noodles. Not perfect, not fancy, just deeply comforting. Which is really the best kind of food.
