Zucchini Noodle Ramen Recipe

It's been at least fifteen years since I bought a package of ramen noodles, but sometimes I just crave junky-comfort. I published the original ramen soup recipe on MOMables, but since over the years I've needed gluten and grain-free recipes, this zucchini noodle ramen always comes to the rescue!

By omitting the traditional pasta noodles, this zoodle ramen is now great for anyone who needs to eat gluten-free or follow a low-carb diet, KickStart, Whole 30, or a ketogenic diet.

Ingredients

Zucchini replaces ramen pasta in this soup. Then, you’ll yield those classic Asian flavors by adding garlic, ginger, carrots, leek (or the white part of green onions), vegetable broth, and soy sauce (tamari or coconut aminos ar good swaps).

How to Make Zucchini Noodle Ramen

To cook this soup, we sauté garlic, ginger, carrots, and leeks. Then, we pour in vegetable broth, water, and soy sauce, and let it simmer. Finally, we add the zucchini noodles and simmer for a few minutes until the noodles have softened.

Laura’s Tip: I save time by spiralizing my zucchini ahead of time and saving it in the fridge so it's ready to use in this zoodle ramen.
