Keto Pho With Shirataki Noodles (Miracle Noodles)
May 08, 2019Pho is actually a very easy dish to make keto by simply swapping out the traditional noodles for shirataki noodles. There you have it—keto pho.
Shirataki noodles, also known to many as “miracle noodles,” are made from the Japanese Konjac plant and are practically carb and calorie-free.
No wonder they're called miracle noodles, right?
This is possible because these noodles are made up of 97 percent water and 3 percent soluble fiber, called glucomannan. They’re an amazing alternative to carb-heavy noodles or pasta and are extremely filling. The glucomannan does have a distinct scent but it can be easily washed away by rinsing them thoroughly before adding it to your dish.

Keto Pho Ingredients
- 8 ounces sirloin, very thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil or butter or ghee
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons liquid or coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated or ground ginger
- 8 cups Bone Broth
- 4, 7-ounce packages shirataki noodles, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 scallion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
-
Place the sirloin in the freezer while you prepare the broth and other ingredients (about 15 to 20 minutes). This makes it easier to slice.
-
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the coconut oil. Add the garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Then add the aminos, fish sauce, ginger, and bone broth. Bring to a boil.
-
Remove the beef from the freezer and slice it very thin.
-
Divide the noodles, beef, and bean sprouts evenly among 4 serving bowls. Carefully ladle 2 cups of the broth into each bowl. Cover the bowls with plates and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes to cook the meat.
-
Serve garnished with chopped scallion and sesame seeds, if using.
