Tips & Tricks
Preparation tips
You might be curious why this ramen dish is low-carb. Unlike the typical ramen recipe that uses Chinese-style wheat noodles, we’re using angel hair noodles made with fiber-rich glucomannan starch. Instead of soy sauce, use coconut aminos because it has a low glycemic index yet never fails to add a savory taste to any dish. For an added spice, don’t forget to sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.
