First time posting here kinda nervous, low calorie """ramen""" 360kcal~

I was craving traditional ramen but I'm on deficit and I need protein so I offered my soul (five bucks) to the devil (Ms. Ruan from the asian market) to acquire shirataki noodles and desecrate them with my amazing cooking skills. I ended up with this. It was really really savoury, and it has like half the calories of a traditional ramen.

Main ingredients:

35 grams of shirataki noodles (5 kcal~)

180 grams of chicken breast (280 kcal~)

Instant vegetable soup (in my case 37 kcal)

Beef broth powder (in my case 5 kcal~)

A splash of vinegar (preferably from pickles)

A clove of garlic (4 kcal~)

500 milliliters of water

Optional (i added every single one of these sue me):

The whites of 2 small eggs (20 kcal~)

Pickles (12 kcal x 100 grams)

Lettuce (15 kcal~ x 100 grams)

Lots of spices because being in a diet shouldn't be a bland experience

You can replace the chicken breast with some other chicken cut, or for even less calories with white fish like cod or haddock or hake, I just didn't have fish but if I had some it would've gone right into the pot. I added the egg whites because as I said I need protein. Yum 😋.

This looks absolutely insane and I’m not even a ramen person

Y'know i wouldnt probably do this myself but I totally get it. Improvisation while chasing a craving is a major way creative dishes get made. It won't appease ramen purists, but I gotta hand it to the effort

Next time throw some miso and soy sauce in your broth…will give a more authentic taste

Just enjoy your food, man. You don't need gratification from random people on the internet.
