Instructions
Set the Ninja to Sear/Sauté and brown the ground beef, draining excess grease if needed.
Stir in the green beans, Bachan’s, beef broth, soy sauce, ginger paste, and minced garlic.
Switch to Slow Cook and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours or HIGH for 1½ to 2 hours.
Mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth, then stir it into the slow cooker.
Add the ramen noodles and switch to Sear/Sauté, cooking for 3 to 5 minutes while tossing as the noodles soften, adding a splash of beef broth if needed.
Top with green onions and sesame seeds and enjoy!
