Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 4 medium Zucchini (for noodles)
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium or coconut aminos for keto)
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 3 stalks Green onions (chopped)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., avocado oil)
• 0 Optional toppings (cilantro, sesame seeds, lime wedges, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Using a spiralizer, prepare the zucchini noodles (zoodles) by spiralizing the 4 medium zucchinis. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess moisture.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the ground pork to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 6–8 minutes). Season the pork with salt and pepper. Remove the cooked pork and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same pot, add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and sesame oil. Sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the chili garlic sauce and sriracha. Cook for another 30 seconds to bring out the flavors.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce (or coconut aminos). Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Meanwhile, prepare the eggs by boiling them in a separate pot for 6–7 minutes for soft-boiled yolks. Once cooked, place them in an ice bath for easy peeling.

Step 8

Return the cooked pork to the simmering broth and stir to incorporate the flavors. Let the pot simmer for another 5–7 minutes.

Step 9

Add the zucchini noodles to the pot and cook for 2–3 minutes, just until tender but still firm (do not overcook to maintain texture).

Step 10

Divide the ramen evenly into bowls and top with a boiled egg (halved). Garnish with chopped green onions and any optional toppings like cilantro, sesame seeds, or lime wedges.
