Phở Keto is a low-carb twist on the traditional Vietnamese noodle soup, featuring tender beef and a fragrant broth, all without the carbs from rice noodles. This dish is perfect for a hearty breakfast that keeps you in ketosis while satisfying your cravings for authentic flavors.

Ingredients

• Beef broth - 500 ml
• Beef sirloin - 200 grams, thinly sliced
• Zucchini - 1 medium, spiralized
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 inch, sliced
• Onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce (or coconut aminos) - 1 tablespoon

• Lime - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. In a pot, combine the beef broth, minced garlic, sliced ginger, and onion. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Once simmering, add the fish sauce, soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. While the broth is simmering, prepare the zucchini noodles using a spiralizer. Set aside.
