What is Ramen?
Ramen is a beloved Japanese dish that has taken the world by storm. It’s not hard to see why – the delicious broth, chewy noodles, and flavorful toppings make for a comforting and satisfying meal. While many people think of ramen as something you can only get at a restaurant or in an instant noodle packet, it’s actually quite easy to make at home.
This recipe is beyond easy to make and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or a beginner in the kitchen, this recipe is sure to impress. So grab your chopsticks and get ready to slurp up some deliciousness!
Subsitutions
Coconut Aminos– Tamari. Soy sauce if you are not gluten-free.
Carrots and green beans– Chopped celery or finely chopped broccoli work well here!
Ramen Noodles– I used Lotus Foods millet and brown rice ramen noodles. (Affiliate Link) You can use any pack of ramen you like if you are not gluten-free. If you are strictly paleo or keto, shirataki noodles work best here. Alternatively, you can use shredded cabbage or zoodles (zucchini noodles) to keep it whole30, paleo, and keto!
I don’t recommend substituting anything else out! Everything else is necessary for flavor-packed ramen!

- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil

- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 inch grated fresh ginger
- 1 32 ounce carton chicken broth I love using a good quality chicken bone broth
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper optional, if you like heat!
- 2 cups chopped mushrooms
- 1 packet or block ramen noodles see subsitutions for my favorite brand!
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Topping
- 2 cooked and sliced chicken breasts optional (rotisserie works here!)

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add about a half tablespoon of avocado oil, the onion, carrots, jalapeno and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 7 minutes on medium heat.

- Top with chopped green onions, soft boiled eggs and sliced chicken for the perfect classic bowl of ramen!! ENJOY
Chicken Breasts (optional, for topping)
- Create chicken cutlets with chicken breasts by laying flat on a cutting board and placing one hand on top and slicing horizontaly with a sharp knife. This divides the breast in half, helping it to cook well and not be dry.

Soft Boiled Eggs (optional)
- Add water to a sauce pan and allow it to come to a boil. Once it i at a roiling boil, add the amount of eggs you would like, place a lid on top of the saucepan and boil for exactly 6 minutes. NO LONGER.
