Notes & Tips for the Perfect Carnivore Ramen
- Shaved Beef: Use thinly sliced beef, often sold for hot pot dishes. If unavailable, ask your butcher to cut sirloin steak paper-thin or use a meat slicer at home for the same effect.
- Meal Prep-Friendly: Prepare the components ahead of time—cook the beef, bacon, noodles, and eggs separately, then assemble the bowls just before serving for a quick meal.
- Custom Toppings: Add extra proteins like sliced chicken, seared pork belly, or even a dollop of bone marrow for an elevated flavor boost.
Why Carnivore Ramen Is a Game-Changer
This recipe takes all the comfort of traditional ramen and adapts it for a high-protein, low-carb lifestyle. With rich broth, nutrient-dense eggs, and tender meat, it’s as satisfying as it is nourishing. The egg white noodles provide a silky texture reminiscent of classic ramen noodles, making this dish a guilt-free indulgence that aligns with your carnivore goals.
For added variety, try experimenting with different broths like pork or oxtail or swapping the shaved beef for thinly sliced lamb. Whatever your preferences, carnivore ramen is a versatile and delicious way to enjoy the warming flavors of this beloved comfort food!
