Make

  1. When the chicken is done cooking, turn up the heat to high. Remove the chicken (leave the stock in the bowl) and transfer to a cutting board. Slice or shred the chicken.

  2. Add the noodles to the slow cooker along with the chopped chicken and bok choy leaves. Cover and simmer on high until the noodles are tender, 10 to 20 minutes. (The time will vary depending on the type of noodles you use and the temperature of your slow cooker.)

  3. Ladle the ramen into bowls. Drizzle each bowl with some toasted sesame oil and hot sauce (if using). Serve ramen with limes and cilantro on the side for garnishing and flavoring bowls. Enjoy!
