Low-Carb Ramen Noodles

You can make this entire recipe in about 30 minutes. Most of that time is for boiling the noodles, just like traditional ramen. The key difference is the broth: a combination of chili sauce, chicken and beef broths, and soy sauce creates a savory, aromatic base that tastes anything but “diet.”

The chili and garlic add depth and a gentle heat, while the broths provide body. This mix makes a bold, restaurant-style bowl of ramen without the excess carbs.

Keto Ramen With Shirataki Noodles

Shirataki noodles—also known as miracle or konjac noodles—are the low-carb hero of this dish. Made from glucomannan fiber derived from the konjac root, they have a translucent, pale appearance and a light texture that absorbs the flavors of the broth. In my experience, they make an excellent low-carb substitute for traditional ramen noodles.

Healthy Ramen Seasoning

This recipe captures the savory, umami-rich profile of familiar ramen while keeping sodium and carbs lower. For even less salt, choose low-sodium soy sauce and reduced-sodium broths. I used ginger paste and garlic chili sauce for a bold, spicy kick; reduce the chili if you prefer milder flavors.

Best Keto Ramen Recipe

This low-carb ramen is fast, nutritious, and crowd-pleasing. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the addition of fresh vegetables gives the bowl color and vitamins. Make a larger batch and you’ve got an easy weeknight dinner that everyone will enjoy.

How To Customize This Easy Keto Recipe

This ramen is extremely adaptable. Add any vegetables you like—think matchstick carrots, baby broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, or snow peas. For a heartier one-pot dinner, cook thin-sliced steak, chicken, or shrimp separately and add them to each bowl.

If you prefer, swap or combine the shirataki noodles with zucchini noodles (zoodles) for extra texture and nutrients. Zoodles can be added raw to the hot broth to soften slightly, or briefly blanched before serving.

Eggs Are Optional

If you need to avoid eggs, omit the hard-boiled egg garnish. The soup remains delicious and satisfying without it.

How To Store Keto Ramen

Store leftover ramen in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Note that shirataki noodle texture can change over time, so this soup tastes best when enjoyed fresh. If meal prepping, keep noodles separate from broth when possible and combine just before reheating.
