Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Strainer
  • 2 Ramen bowls
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

Noodle Base

  • 2 packages Shirataki noodles 14 oz each / 400g each

Broth

  • 4 cups chicken or beef bone broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Toppings

  • 6 ounces sliced cooked pork belly or chicken
  • 2 large eggs soft-boiled and halved
  • ½ cup sliced green onions
  • ¼ cup bamboo shoots drained
  • 1 sheet nori cut into strips
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Chili oil or flakes optional, to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Shirataki noodles by draining and rinsing them thoroughly under cold water. In a pot of boiling water, cook the noodles for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, combine the bone broth, soy sauce or tamari, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • While the broth simmers, prepare your toppings. Slice the cooked pork belly or chicken into thin strips, and make sure your soft-boiled eggs are ready to be halved.
  • Assemble the Keto Ramen by placing an equal amount of Shirataki noodles into two bowls. Pour the hot broth over the noodles.
  • Arrange the pork belly or chicken slices, soft-boiled eggs, green onions, bamboo shoots, and nori strips on top of the noodles. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and add chili oil or flakes if desired.
  • Serve immediately, encouraging diners to mix the toppings and broth together to enjoy the full flavor of the Keto Ramen.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute the meat for tofu and use vegetable broth.
Shirataki noodles can be found in most health food stores or Asian markets and are a staple for low-carb diets due to their low net carb content.
Adjust the level of soy sauce or tamari to your taste and dietary needs, and consider using a low-sodium option if needed.
