Instructions

Place all the broth ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 2-3.
When you are ready to eat, skim any fat or floating scum that might be on the top of the broth from the meat. Remove the garlic, ginger pieces, and scallions (if desired).
Remove the meat and slice or shred it, setting it aside with your other prepared toppings.
Turn the crock pot to high and add your mushrooms (if using) and ramen noodles. Cook the noodles for the time directed on their packaging, and then check them. Since your broth probably isn't boiling, the noodles may take up to twice as long as the package directs to soften.

To Serve

Place a serving of noodles into a bowl and ladle the hot broth over the noodles.
Top as desired and slurp away!

Notes

*To soft boil eggs: Place your eggs in a saucepan and cover with 1 inch of cold water. Add about 1 Tbsp salt. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand 3 minutes. Then, submerge the eggs in cold water to stop the cooking and cool them quickly.
