Prep: 30 min | Cook: 20 min | Total: 1 hr

Cost: $33.84 total, $16.92 per serving

Ingredients

  • 2 cup Chicken Breast (cut into 1‑inch pieces; can use ground chicken, leanest possible)
  • 2 tablespoon Beef Gelatin (unflavored; beef gelatin preferred for flavor)
  • 1 piece Large Egg (room temperature)
  • 2 oz Cream Cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda (helps tenderize the chicken)
  • 1 pinch Salt (large pinch; adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder (optional, for yellow color)
  • 6 tablespoon Egg White Powder (dry protein; provides structure; do not substitute with liquid egg whites)
  • 4 cup Chicken Bone Broth (homemade or store‑bought, gelatinous)
  • 1 teaspoon Shrimp Powder (optional, adds umami)
  • 2 teaspoon White Vinegar (optional, cuts fattiness)
  • 1 teaspoon Redbat Fish Sauce (or carnivore soy sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon Bacon Grease (adds traditional ramen fat)
  • 2 piece Ramen Egg (soft‑boiled 6 minutes, peeled)
  • 2 stalk Green Onions (optional, thinly sliced for garnish)
  • 1 sheet Nori Seaweed (optional, torn into strips)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken Base

    Cut chicken breast into 1‑inch pieces and place in the food processor bowl. Sprinkle baking soda and a pinch of salt over the chicken.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Blend Chicken to Paste

    Pulse a few times, then run the processor until the chicken forms a completely smooth paste, scraping down the sides as needed.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Add Egg

    Crack the large egg into the processor and blend until fully incorporated.

    Time: PT1M

  4. Incorporate Gelatin

    With the processor running, slowly sprinkle the beef gelatin, adding a little at a time to avoid clumps, until fully mixed.

    Time: PT2M

  5. Add Cream Cheese and Turmeric

    Add softened cream cheese and, if using, the teaspoon of turmeric powder. Process until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Add Egg White Powder

    Turn the processor on low and slowly add egg white powder one tablespoon at a time, allowing each addition to fully incorporate before adding the next. Scrape the sides as needed.

    Time: PT3M

  7. Adjust Consistency

    If the batter is too thick to pipe, add 1–2 tablespoons of water until it drops off a spatula like thick icing.

    Time: PT1M

  8. Pipe Noodles onto Sheet

    Fit the piping bag with a small round tip, fill with the batter, and pipe long, curly strands onto a parchment‑lined cookie sheet, spacing them a few centimeters apart.

    Time: PT5M

  9. Bake Noodles

    Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the sheet for 6–7 minutes, or until the noodles are firm to the touch but still slightly pliable.

    Time: PT7M

    Temperature: 300°F

  10. Prepare Broth

    While noodles bake, pour chicken bone broth into a saucepan, add shrimp powder (if using), white vinegar, fish sauce, and bacon grease. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: Boiling

  11. Soft‑Boil Ramen Eggs

    In a separate pot, bring water to a boil, lower eggs gently, and cook for exactly 6 minutes. Transfer to ice water, peel, and set aside.

    Time: PT6M

    Temperature: Boiling

  12. Assemble Bowl

    Place baked noodles into the hot broth for 1–2 minutes to re‑heat. Transfer noodles and broth to serving bowls, top with a soft‑boiled egg, sliced cooked chicken breast, optional green onions and nori, and a drizzle of extra bacon grease if desired.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: Hot

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this recipe

Q

What is the cultural significance and history of ramen in Japanese cuisine and how does the carnivore chicken ramen noodles recipe from Chris Cooking Nashville reinterpret it?

A

Ramen originated in China and became a Japanese staple in the early 20th century, evolving into countless regional styles. Chris Cooking Nashville’s carnivore version strips out wheat flour, replacing it with a chicken‑gelatin noodle, thus keeping the comforting broth and toppings while adhering to a meat‑only, keto lifestyle.

cultural
Q

What traditional regional variations of ramen exist in Japan and which elements does Chris Cooking Nashville keep or omit in his carnivore chicken ramen noodles?

A

Japan has shoyu, miso, tonkotsu, and shio ramen, each defined by broth type and toppings. Chris retains the rich bone broth and soft‑boiled egg but omits wheat noodles, soy‑based sauces, and vegetable toppings unless added optionally, focusing on animal‑based ingredients only.

cultural
Q

How is traditional ramen traditionally served in Japan and how should the carnivore chicken ramen noodles be plated for an authentic experience?

A

Traditional ramen is served in a deep bowl with broth, noodles, sliced pork, menma, nori, and a soft‑boiled egg, eaten with chopsticks and a spoon for broth. For the carnivore version, place the baked chicken noodles in the bowl, ladle hot broth over them, add the egg, sliced chicken, a drizzle of bacon grease, and optional green onions and nori for a similar visual and textural experience.

cultural
Q

What occasions or celebrations is ramen traditionally associated with in Japanese culture and can the carnivore chicken ramen noodles be served for those events?

A

Ramen is a popular comfort food for everyday meals, late‑night dining, and casual gatherings. It’s also enjoyed during festivals as a quick, warming dish. The carnivore chicken ramen noodles fit perfectly for low‑carb gatherings, keto diet celebrations, or any casual dinner where a hearty broth is desired.

cultural
Q

What makes the carnivore chicken ramen noodles unique within the broader keto and carnivore cuisine traditions?

A

Most keto ramen substitutes use shirataki or cauliflower noodles. Chris Cooking Nashville’s method creates a protein‑dense noodle from chicken, gelatin, and egg white powder, delivering a chewy, noodle‑like texture while staying 100% animal‑based, which is rare in the carnivore community.

cultural
Q

What are the authentic traditional ingredients for Japanese ramen broth and which optional ingredients does Chris Cooking Nashville suggest for added umami?

A

Traditional ramen broth may use pork bones (tonkotsu), chicken, or seafood, flavored with kombu, dried fish, and soy‑based seasonings. Chris adds shrimp powder, white vinegar, and redbat fish sauce (or his carnivore soy sauce) plus bacon grease to boost umami while keeping the broth animal‑only.

cultural
Q

What other Japanese dishes pair well with the carnivore chicken ramen noodles from Chris Cooking Nashville?

A

Pair it with a simple carnivore miso‑less soup like chicken bone broth, a side of seared fatty fish, or a carnivore‑style gyoza made from ground pork wrapped in pork skin. A cold cucumber salad dressed with vinegar (if tolerated) also balances the richness.

cultural
Q

What are the most common mistakes to avoid when making the carnivore chicken ramen noodles at home?

A

Common errors include over‑mixing the batter causing a gummy texture, adding egg white powder too quickly which creates lumps, baking the noodles too long resulting in hard strands, and not seasoning the broth enough before serving. Follow the critical steps and taste the broth early.

technical
Q

Why does this carnivore chicken ramen noodles recipe use egg white powder instead of liquid egg whites for binding?

A

Egg white powder provides dry protein that absorbs moisture from the chicken mixture, creating a firm yet flexible structure once baked. Liquid egg whites add too much water, preventing the noodles from holding shape and resulting in a soggy texture.

technical
Q

Can I make the carnivore chicken ramen noodles ahead of time and how should I store them?

A

Yes. Bake the noodles, let them cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Re‑heat by dropping them into hot broth for a minute before serving. They also freeze well for up to a month; thaw in the fridge before reheating.

technical
Q

What does the YouTube channel Chris Cooking Nashville specialize in?

A

Chris Cooking Nashville focuses on carnivore and keto-friendly recipes, demonstrating how to create low‑carb, meat‑centric dishes that mimic traditional comfort foods while providing detailed technique explanations and equipment recommendations.

channel
Q

How does the YouTube channel Chris Cooking Nashville's approach to carnivore cooking differ from other carnivore cooking channels?

A

Chris emphasizes recreating classic dishes (like ramen) using innovative meat‑only techniques such as chicken‑based noodles and detailed equipment hacks, whereas many other carnivore channels stick to simple steaks or burgers without attempting complex textures.
