1tbspmaple syrup
1tbspsoy sauce

Instructions
Prepare the Noodles: Rinse the shirataki noodles thoroughly under cold water and drain well. This step is crucial to remove the characteristic odor of the noodles.
Sauté Aromatics: In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. If you’re using red pepper flakes, add them in at this stage for a little heat.
Add Noodles: Toss in the rinsed shirataki noodles and stir well to combine with the garlic.
Flavor It Up: Drizzle in the maple syrup, soy sauce, and ginger. Stir everything together and let it cook for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Cook the Egg: Push the noodles to one side of the pan. Crack the egg into the other side and scramble it gently until cooked. Mix the scrambled egg with the noodles.
Serve: Transfer the ramen to a bowl and garnish with sliced scallion and a sprinkle of Everything But The Bagel seasoning for that extra crunch and flavor.
Notes
Protein Options for Your Ramen
Steak: Sirloin, flank or skirt steak work well. Steak is a hearty choice that pairs well with the textures of the shirataki. Chicken: A versatile choice that’s perfect for meal prep. You can use baked chicken (just skip the Italian seasoning), Instant Pot shredded chicken, or grab a rotisserie chicken to save time on busy days.Ground Beef: This is another excellent option that you can prepare ahead of time. Just brown some ground beef, and if you want to add a little extra flavor, season it with coconut aminos before mixing it into your bowls.Pulled Pork: Pulled pork makes a fantastic topping! You can either sprinkle it on top or mix it right into your ramen bowls as you assemble them.Seafood: For a lighter twist, shrimp or crab is a great addition to your keto ramen. They cook up quickly and add a delicious flavor.Vegetarian: If you want to skip the meat entirely, just top your ramen with soft-boiled eggs for a satisfying, protein-packed option!
