We know it's technically not Ramen without noodles, so if you're not doing Keto, feel free to add some noodles of your choice or use Zucchini noodles if you like. We ate ours with no noodles and used bok choy for it's mild flavor and it was delicious and filling. Our son who loves gourmet ramen ate it with noodles and thought it was just as good as the restaurants in New York. We used sirloin tip since it cooks quick and is tender. Feel free to use any protein or go vegetarian with tofu or other vegetables. So without making this intro too long, if your going low carb, yet craving Ramen, here's the recipe...
Beef & Bok Choy Soup
Ingredients:
2 tablespoon, Sesame Oil (sub avocado oil or coconut oil if you prefer)
12 oz, Sirloin Tip Steak, Thin Sliced in strips
1 bunch Bok Choy, chopped
3 stalks Green Onions, chopped
4 cups Beef Broth (look for one with 1g of carbs or less and no added sugar)
1 inch piece Ginger Root, peeled and minced
2 cloves Garlic, pressed
3 tsp, Liquid Aminos* (or soy sauce alternative of choice)
1 tsp, Himalayan Pink Salt or more to taste
Optional toppings (not included in nutrition facts below):
Soft boiled egg
Chopped Cilantro
Sriracha (Ninja Squirrel has less than 1 carb per tsp)
Sambal Oelek Chili Paste (no carbs)
*Liquid aminos is made from soy if you have sensitivity, but we use this since it's much lower in carbs than coconut aminos.
Directions:
Heat oil in large pot on medium to high heat. Season sirlion with salt and pepper if desired then sear sirloin until slightly brown, add bok choy and saute a few minutes until it starts to soften and leaves wilt. Add garlic, ginger and white part of green onion (save a handful of the green tops for topping when serving), saute 2 minutes. Add beef broth, coconut aminos and additional salt if needed. Simmer until bok choy is tender.
Serve with toppings of your choice, we used a soft boiled egg, cilantro, green onions and Sriracha.
