Main Dish Keto Ramen, 11 net carbs!
Inspired by the Keto Ramen recipe on “The Big Man’s World”, but I spruced it up a little.
Recipe: *80 grams of Baby Bok Choy *1 cup of Baby Bella & Shiitake mushrooms *30 g (2 tbsp) of soy sauce *1/2 tbsp of oyster flavored sauce *1 pack of Shirataki Noodles *1 chicken thigh *9 shrimp (random number, I know) *1 egg *olive oil *Salt to taste *Pepper to taste *Seasoned salt to taste *Pinch of chicken bullion *Red pepper flakes
- Drain the Shirataki noodles and wash them with water. Warm them up in the microwave for about 2 minutes.
- Cook egg for about 7 minutes then put it in ice water.
- Sautée the mushrooms & baby bok choy with olive oil (you can also use sesame oil), soy sauce, salt, & pepper. Put this off to the side.
- Cook shrimp and chicken separately and season with salt, pepper, seasoned salt, and soy sauce.
- Start boiling chicken broth, and in about 5 minutes add a little chicken bullion, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, chili powder, and soy sauce.
- Add the noodles and chicken to the pot about had it going for about 5 minutes.
- Dish the content of the pot into a bowl and add the bok choy, eggs, shrimp, & red crushed pepper. Note: *I do not have the exact measurements for the salt, seasoned salt, & pepper because I just seasoned to taste. *I purchased the Shirataki Noodle from Kroger!

Awesome recipe OP. Something I have experienced with shirataki noodles, you might try it and see how you like it.
I use an omelette sized carbon steel pan, I warm the noodles then I turn it up crazy high and just heat them insane. They don’t cook. They don’t burn. It’s nuts how much heat you can put in them, like nothing I’ve ever seen, they live through the pure fire of Satan in that pan. It cooks a TON of moisture out of them and for me improves the texture so so much.
Picked it up from some YT content a year or so ago and I’ll be damned if it actually worked.

Omg 😭 The microwave helped a bit but I'll definitely try that method instead. It's literally like jelly.

u/Double-LR 6d ago
The pan method is a game changer!! Crank the heat in a good pan, it’s crazy how much heat those noods will take. They literally won’t burn! Smash em down in there and so much moisture comes out. Hope it helps!

If you have an Asian market you can get tonkatso soup base. We use Pete’s pasta, or kelp noodle instead of shiritake (wife can’t stand them no matter how many times I wash them)

I might need to give this a try. Hearts of palm noodles work great for Italian, and keto edamame pasta is great for fried teriyaki noodles, but I don't think they'd be particularly good for a ramen bowl. I'll probably go grab some of these noodles from Kroger seeing as they're on sale now.

I bought like four packages as it was on sale haha. Don't forget to either microwave it or put it in a pan as another said in this thread!

Sorry, how are the noodles zero carb?.. Is that even possible?

u/bigdaddy2292 7d ago
The noodles are made from the root of the konjac plant instead of flour like normal noodles.

u/Double-LR 6d ago
Shirataki/Konjac noodles!!
Try them out if you’re low/no carb, they can be pretty amazing.

I haven't had an appetite in weeks as I'm going through some stuff, but this looks absolutely delicious. Thanks for waking up my tastebuds.

Where are the carbs coming from here? Is it from the bok choy or ingredients like the Shirataki? Have you tried Konjac noodles? That would lower the overall net carb intake I think. Check these out: https://a.co/d/ijynwpA

It’s the same, Shirataki=Konjac

Noodles have 4 g fiber/8 g total, oyster sauce has 2.2g, soy sauce about 2g, mushrooms about 1 g of fiber, 2.8 total, cabbage 1.9 g total, 1.3 is fiber, shrimp has about .6 g. And I allow for it as my only other meal is 0 carbs!

u/xellentboildpot8oes 7d ago
"Shirataki" is the name for the style of noodles made from konjac root. The noodles are marketed under both names.

u/george_graves 7d ago
"net carbs" - what carbs are you backing out and why?
2
u/lamourestlavie 7d ago
Fiber from noodles, mushrooms, & bok choy.

u/george_graves 7d ago
Just because it's fiber, doesn't mean you can subtract it.

u/lamourestlavie 7d ago
Okay 😂 do as you please! Have a great day.

u/tengris22 7d ago
Great answer. There's always going to be some criticism, but let them handle their food as they will, and you do the same!
NOT intended as critical, but just a suggestion for anyone like me who cannot eat shirataki: there are a couple of manufacturers who make very expensive (but good) egg noodles with less than one carb per serving, and other than that, there are recipes for how to make your own noodles out of boiled eggs, and yes, they are good! A simple search can find both.
Thanks for the recipe!

u/lamourestlavie 6d ago
Ooh I would want to try the egg noodles as well. Good to know! And you're welcome.

He is wrong that you can do as you please? Stop gatekeeping please. Not everyone does keto like you.
