Keto Tonkotsu Ramen

Keto Tonkotsu Ramen is a rich, flavorful broth made from pork bones, combined with low-carb noodles for a satisfying and hearty meal. This dish provides all the comfort of traditional ramen while keeping it keto-friendly.

Ingredients

• Pork bones (neck or trotters) - 500g
• Water - 1.5 liters
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 3 tablespoons
• Miso paste - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 inch, sliced
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Keto-friendly ramen noodles (shirataki or konjac noodles) - 200g
• Soft-boiled eggs - 2
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Nori sheets - 2, cut into strips
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a large pot, add the pork bones and cover with 1.5 liters of water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, skimming off any scum that rises to the top.
2. Add the minced garlic, sliced ginger, and chopped green onions to the pot. Simmer for at least 2 hours, preferably 3 hours, to extract maximum flavor from the bones.
3. After simmering, strain the broth through a fine sieve into another pot, discarding the solids. Return the broth to the heat and stir in the soy sauce and miso paste until fully dissolved.
4. In a separate pot, prepare the keto-friendly noodles according to package instructions, then drain and rinse under cold water.
5. To serve, divide the noodles between two bowls. Pour the hot tonkotsu broth over the noodles.
6. Top each bowl with a soft-boiled egg, a drizzle of sesame oil, nori strips, and additional chopped green onions. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
