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.

Loved this dish. I used the SKINNY NOODLES brand pasta. Didn’t use as much as it called for. Next time will use more broccoli. Great dish.
Thanks for sharing. Looks so good!
Hello, what brand are the noodles, it’s not pulling when I click on the link.
I linked to it right under the video, it’s the Better Than brand.
I would use zucchini noodles instead, much cheaper, and they taste soo good.
Made this last night. Good satisfying dish as we are coming off the holiday splurges. Put the siracha out for those who wanted a little heat.
I am so hesitant to try these. I bought the “miracle” noodles and practically threw up. I threw them all away. These are made from the same ingredient….knojac. Are they prepared the same way as the miracle?
These are not like those at all, my super picky hubby liked them and he’s tried the miracle noodles and hated those.
Did you use the rice,pasta or other style
Better Than Noodles
In the recipe it says to put the noodles in the pan with the egg and shrimp. Do you prepare the noodles per the package instructions first and then proceed with the egg and shrimp?
Right all you need to do for these is rinse them under cold water, strain and add to the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Just needs to get heated through a few minutes.
Thank you for this recipe. When I checked on Amazon, the noodles were priced at 6 packages for $26.99. If anyone discovers a better priced source, please post.
Happy New Year!!
You can buy a similar kind at Wal-Mart. Be warned they have a fishy smell and weird texture. They are not for everyone.
The brand that I linked to, does not have a fishy smell, nor a weird texture, much better than any other we’ve tried.
They are worth every penny if you have a picky family like mine.
