What About the Ramen Noodles?
Truly what makes ramen what it is would be the wheat-based noodles that fill the bowl. But, obviously, a bowl of carbs would throw off your macros very quickly.
Thankfully, this keto recipe utilizes one of the most natural noodles that is also extremely good for you: zucchini. If you can’t cut the zucchini into a nice uniform shape, I would recommend using a mandolin; then you won’t miss those wheat noodles at all.
If you get tired of zucchini, play around with some other low-carb pasta alternatives.
Ramen: a Japanese Meal, an American Craze
Ramen may be one of the most traditional dishes you can find in Japan, but the USA has sure taken it for their own.
Ramen first became popular in America after the 1930’s when noodle pushcarts and street vendors were spreading across the country. Unfortunately, during WWII many of the ingredients were rationed and these street vendors were shut down.
Since the 1960’s, ramen has again become popularized and it continues to grow as one of America’s favorite meals.
