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.
