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.

Low Carb Ramen Ingredients

You'll only need 10 healthy ingredients to make these low carb ramen noodles.

• Shirataki noodles - you can grab konjac noodles at most stores, and there is a huge variety available on Amazon.
• Broth - you can use chicken, beef, or vegetable broth for this ramen recipe.
• Spinach - fresh spinach leaves.
• Mushrooms - button mushrooms or your favorite variety.
• Eggs - free-range organic eggs if possible.
• Sesame oil - you'll need toasted sesame oil.
• Soy sauce - opt for low-sodium soy sauce if you're worried about sodium intake. It can be substituted for coconut aminos as well.
• Ginger - freshly minced ginger or from a jar works fine.
• Sauce - we used a garlic chili sauce for this ramen.
• Radish - optionally top your ramen with slices of fresh radish.

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

This quick, easy ramen recipe is a favorite in the keto community. So healthy and delicious with lots of variations! Here are some topping ideas to make it your own:

• Protein - feel free to add your favorite protein to your ramen. Leftover chicken, browned ground pork/beef, pulled pork, shrimp, and tofu are all great options.
• Red pepper flakes - to give it an extra kick!
• Green onions - Work well as a main ingredient or garnish.
• Fish sauce - An excellent addition to any ramen because of its umami flavor.
• Sesame oil - You can add sesame oil to give your ramen that toasted sesame flavor.

Storage Instructions

You can store the keto ramen noodles components separately in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. It's best made fresh, and I don't recommend you freeze it.
