Carbs in Traditional Ramen

Traditional noodles are made from white flour or wheat flour and neither will work for anyone on a keto diet. I am gluten free since 2012 and stay far away from anything with wheat gluten.

According to the Cronometer app, ramen noodles prepared from a dehydrated or instant mix has 25.8 grams of carbs for a 1 cup serving.

Our keto shrimp ramen recipe has 11 grams of carbs for a 2 cup serving and 7 g net carbs. All remaining nutritional information is on the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Low Carb Ramen Noodles

Shirataki noodles or miracle noodles are the first choice as I’ve been enjoying them for years. They are made from konjac root and I haven’t seen them named konjac noodles but rather Shirataki or miracle noodles.

The best part is they have zero net carbs.

Low in calories: They have very few calories, making them a great option for those watching their caloric intake.
Low in carbohydrates: They are virtually carb-free, as the carbohydrates are mostly fiber.
Gluten-free: They are naturally gluten-free, making them suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Vegan: They are naturally vegan as they are made from konjac root.
Glucomannan fiber: This soluble fiber promotes feelings of fullness and can aid in digestion.

A 100 gram serving in one package is about 3.5 ounces and has 9 calories, and 3 grams of carbs and 3 grams dietary fiber which is soluble fiber coming from glucomannan.

Of course, use what you like, but if you want an authentic Ramen Like Noodle for dinner, try the It’s Skinny brand. This post is not sponsored by them, I simply love the noodles!

There are a few low carb noodles on the market today that are fine and I will eat them, but getting my picky non-low-carb hubby and kids on board to eating them hasn’t been successful. They just don’t like the texture.

But today I’m sharing the brand I found on Amazon that is outstanding and even my super picky hubby said he liked! Total miracle!

I’ve got so many more recipes coming using these noodles! I finally feel like I can get my family on board, especially my picky hubby and help lower their carbs by using these noodles in many traditional recipes.

Zucchini Noodles could also be an option but take more time to create noodles. I don’t think the flavor of spaghetti squash would be a could option for ramen.

My new favorite noodle is actually made from egg whites! They have a spaghetti noodle and a vermicelli style which I love.
