Steps to make Slow Cooker Chicken Ramen:
- Cut the green leaves from the spring onions to use to flavour the broth. Finely chop and bag the remaining for later.
- Cut up the spring onion leaves, carrots, ginger and garlic and place them in the slow cooker.
- Add 5 chicken carcass', mirin, soy sauce, 5 spice and stock cubes.
- Cover with boiling water. Add just enough water to cover the bones. On my cooker this is approx the max line (5L)
- Set the slow cooker for 12 hours (or anytime up to 24hrs) and leave to do it's thang.
- Once cooked, set aside until cooled enough to pick up the bowl without burning yourself.
- Strain the soup to remove the bones and vegetables so you are just left with the broth, skim off the top layer of fat if you prefer less fat.
- Taste the broth, it may need to be watered down if it is too strong.
- You can separate the soup out in containers for later, approx 250-300ml broth per portion depending on your bowl sizes.
- Place chicken thighs (1 per portion) onto a baking tray lined with enough foil to wrap the chicken. Add a splash of oil, and season with garlic powder, chilli powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and anything else you like to season chicken with. Use your hands to rub the oil and seasoning into the chicken all over.
- Wrap the chicken and bake in a preheated oven at 170C (fan oven) and check after 20 minutes to see if the juices run clear. While the chicken is baking move on to the next steps.
- Boil 2 saucepans of water. Use one to hard boil eggs for 8 minutes so the yolk is tacky. At the same time use the other to cook the noodles.
- For noodles, add a splash of soy sauce and salt to the boiling water to taste. Add the noodles (125g~ per person) to boiling water. Cook as per noodle instructions, until they are al dente, be careful not overcook the noodles.
- Once cooked, strain the noodles with a pasta strainer and run cold water through the noodles to stop them from cooking. Once strained, and while still in the strainer, add a splash of soy sauce and use your hands to mix it in. Divide into ramen bowls, and leave the noodles to soak the soy sauce while you finish cooking the rest.
- Run the boiled eggs under cold water so they aren't too hot to touch, and peel the egg shell away. Slice in half.
- Once chicken is cooked, slice the cooked chicken.
- Reheat the broth until it is boiling. Once boiling, add the Bok choy and bean sprouts for 1 minute (up to 3 minutes if prefered) and then remove them.
- Cover the bowls of noodles with broth. If the broth needs diluting (too strong or not enough) top it up with boiling water. Add enough broth to cover the noodles.
- Add the toppings: chicken slices, boiled eggs, bok choy, bean sprouts, spinach, spring onions and serve immediately while hot! Serve with optional fresh garlic and soy sauce.
Stir in the cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker, and let cool. Add baby bok choy to crockpot just before serving.

Foods That Make You Happy
Mostly, people have been taught to believe that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and need to be avoided. Sometimes, if your comfort food is essentially candy or other junk foods, this holds true. At times, comfort foods can be perfectly nourishing and good for us to eat. There are a number of foods that, when you consume them, can boost your mood. When you feel a little down and are needing an emotional boost, try some of these.
Eggs, you may be surprised to discover, are terrific at combating depression. Just be sure that you do not toss the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the yolk particularly, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can be fantastic for raising your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Try eating an egg and be happy!
Make a trail mixout of different seeds and nuts. Your mood can be raised by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is possible since these foods are high in magnesium which raises serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that directs the brain how to feel at any given time. The more serotonin in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Nuts, in addition to improving your mood, can be a super source of protein.
If you wish to defeat depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3s. These are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you fight your depression.
It’s not difficult to overcome your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really wonderful for helping boost your happiness levels. They help you feel full too which can truly help to better your mood. It’s easy to feel depressed when you feel famished! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are not hard for your body to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps promote a rise in your blood glucose which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid called L-theanine. Research has proven that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This helps better your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you become a lot healthier. Now you know it can help raise your mood too!
So you see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are bad for you just so to feel better! Test out these tips instead!
