Low Carb Spicy Beef Ramen Recipe

Spicy Beef Ramen is a filling and very low carb meal. Utilizing Miracle Noodles, which have zero carbs, you can have a nice, spicy bowl of ramen without the traditional noodles adding in carbs.

Miracle noodles are the key for low carb ramen

Miracle noodles can be found on Amazon or at your local grocery store typically in the produce section. They do not need to be refrigerated. Be sure to follow the directions exactly for the preparation of the noodles — otherwise you might get some unpleasant flavored noodles. They are very quick to prepare, so please don’t skip those steps. While  my meat was browning I was able to prepare the noodles in less than 5 minutes, so it is super quick.

Making a thicker broth

If you wanted a thicker sauce, you could try whisking in a pinch of xanthan gum and reducing the sauce a bit. I was tempted to add in a spoonful of hoisin sauce and to add the thickener to the sauce, but I refrained to keep the carb count low.

Add Low Carb Hoisin if you can find it or make it yourself

Hoisin sauce typically has a lot of sugar unless you seek out a low carb bottle or make some at home from a low carb recipe. I didn’t have the time for all that so I skipped it.

  1. I should try this. I have a package of similar noodles in the cupboard that are approved on the plan I am on. I have just not worked up the nerve to try them. But with your recipe, I feel a little more brave 🙂

  2. I totally forgot about those miracle noodles! Some people couldn't handle the texture, but they were fine for me. Yum!

  3. I made this it turned out amazing. I am going to try it with thin sliced flank steak next time. Also, going to try a chicken version.

  4. I tried this tonight and…. THANK YOU. DELICIOUS AND FLAVORFUL. Will make again and again. I add egg and cabbage. 🙂
