Is Ramen Keto?

Traditional ramen uses noodles made from wheat flour which is not keto and contains higher amounts of carbohydrates and calories. However, with a few substitutions, you can easily make it keto-friendly!

Our ramen is made with shirataki noodles containing almost no net carbs. The broth is made using chicken, beef, vegetable broth, coconut aminos, or soy sauce.

How To Make Keto Ramen

Follow these four simple steps, and you'll have a fresh bowl of keto ramen noodles in just 20 minutes!

• Cook eggs. Boil a pot of water and cook the eggs to your desired consistency. Around 5 minutes for soft-boiled eggs and 7 minutes for hard-boiled. Here's a great boiled eggs guide from Downshiftology. Let them cool down, and then slice them in half.

• Saute aromatics. Heat the toasted sesame oil in a saucepan or wok. Stir-fry the ginger and garlic chili sauce for a few minutes.

• Cook vegetables. Add the spinach and button mushrooms and cook over high heat for 3 to 5 minutes.

• Prep noodles. Add the shirataki noodles to a colander in cold water for 30 seconds. Drain off the water and pat dry with paper towels.

• Cook low carb ramen broth. Add the chicken, beef, vegetable broth, soy sauce, and shirataki noodles to the saucepan or wok. Bring it to a gentle simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the noodles are fully cooked.

• Assemble ramen. Divide the keto ramen noodles into two bowls and pour in the broth. Top with sliced eggs, thinly sliced radish, and any optional toppings.

Keto Ramen Toppings and Additions
