Ingredients

• 2 packs (about 14 ounces total) Shirataki noodles
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste, low-carb version)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth, unsalted
• 1 medium Zucchini, spiralized (optional for extra texture)
• 2 Eggs
• 3 Green onions, sliced
• 1 cup Kimchi
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 0 as desired Optional: Cooked protein (like grilled chicken, beef, or tofu)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the shirataki noodles by draining them and rinsing thoroughly under hot running water to remove their natural aroma. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan or pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the gochujang and soy sauce, cooking for another 30 seconds to bring out their flavors.

Step 4

Add the chicken or vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

If you’re adding spiralized zucchini, stir it into the broth and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.

Step 6

Make room in the pot and crack eggs directly into the broth. Let them poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and yolks are cooked to your desired level.

Step 7

Carefully add the prepared shirataki noodles into the broth, letting them warm through for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Divide the ramen into serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced green onions, a generous portion of kimchi, and toasted sesame seeds. Add any cooked protein of choice if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Spicy Korean Ramen!
