How to Make Keto Ramen & Spaghetti from Chicken (No Flour, No Eggs!)

Ingredients

• 3 cups Water (room temperature, for batter)
• 5 oz Canned Chicken Breast (drained, about 90 g meat after draining)
• 0.5 tsp Xanthan Gum (Perfected xanthan gum, prevents clumping)
• 1 tbsp Sodium Alginate (food‑grade, derived from seaweed)
• 1 tbsp Calcium Lactate (food‑grade, about 10 g, for setting bath)
• 7 cups Water (for setting bath) (room temperature, for calcium lactate bath)

Instructions

1. Blend Water and Chicken

   Add 3 cups of water to the blender, then add the drained 5 oz canned chicken breast. Blend on high for 15‑20 seconds until the mixture is completely liquefied.

   Time: PT1M

2. Incorporate Xanthan Gum

   With the blender still running, slowly sprinkle 0.5 tsp xanthan gum through the hole in the lid. Blend for another 15‑20 seconds until fully incorporated.

   Time: PT1M

3. Add Sodium Alginate and De‑foam

   Add 1 tbsp sodium alginate to the batter while blending briefly. Remove the lid and pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to release trapped air bubbles.

   Time: PT2M

4. Rest Batter

   Cover the bowl and let the batter sit for 30 minutes. This allows any remaining bubbles to rise to the surface.

   Time: PT30M

5. Prepare Calcium Lactate Bath

   In a large bowl, combine 7 cups of water with 1 tbsp calcium lactate. Whisk until the salt is completely dissolved.

   Time: PT2M

6. Transfer Batter to Squeeze Bottle

   Scrape any surface foam from the batter with a spoon, then pour the batter into a condiment squeeze bottle. Secure the cap.

   Time: PT2M

7. Form Noodles in Calcium Bath

   Swirl the calcium lactate bath gently. Squeeze the batter through the bottle into the moving water, creating long noodle strands. Work in batches of about one‑third of the batter at a time to keep the bath clear.

   Time: PT10M

8. Firm Up Noodles

   Allow the noodles to sit in the calcium lactate bath for 1 hour. They will solidify and take on a cold‑spaghetti texture.

   Time: PT1H

9. Store or Serve

   Remove the noodles with a slotted spoon. Store in an airtight Tupperware container in the refrigerator (up to 7 days) or use immediately in broth or sauce.

   Time: PT2M
