2 tablespoons sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts, separated), thinly sliced
Noodles and Garnishes:
2 packages udon noodles
1 carrot, finely grated
1 small Kirby cucumber, thinly sliced
1 can water chestnuts
Directions

Put the ribs in the slow cooker.

Whisk together the broth, soy, sugar, ginger, chili paste, sesame oil, garlic, and scallion whites. Pour over the ribs. Cover and cook on HIGH for 6 hours.

Skim beef fat from surface

About 10 minutes before serving add udon noodles

Divide the noodles among 6 large shallow bowls and ladle the broth over top. (Cut the meat from the ribs if desired.) Divide the meat evenly among the bowls. Garnish as desired with the carrots, cucumber, water chestnuts and remaining green parts of the scallion and more chili paste, if desired.

I'm making yellow split pea soup in the crock pot for tomorrow. It's four cups of yellow split peas, five medium carrots, three small sweet potatoes, three medium potatoes, three garlic cloves, one medium onion, some sage, some Italian parsley, olive oil, bay leaves to season and salt. We'll see what happen here...it should cook very nicely for tomorrow.

That recipe sounds good, Susan. I usually make green split pea soup. Right now I've been chowing down on a batch of lentil soup for the last few days.
