Keto Ramen / Spaghetti Follow-Up – Your Questions Answered!

The keto ramen/spaghetti video I posted a couple of weeks ago generated a TON of interest and whole lot of question. In this video, I provide the answers to the …
For those of you who have made this – on a scale of 1 (tastes like miracle noodle) to 10 (tastes like regular pasta) where does this land? I hate miracle noodles so I'm trying to decide if this is worth purchasing the products.
I only wished that you stir fried in a different oil than peanut oil since I avoid all seed oils like the plague. I might try ghee since it has a higher smoking point. It’s also so hard to avoid using sesame seed oil in Asian recipes. Given that it’s such a small amount I tell myself that whatever harm it’s doing is negligible.
Hi Steve, After watching your "90 second Tortilla recipes, Revisted" video, (which i absolutely LOVE, and ordered those silicone rounds) and reading some of the comments, please tell me how to find the video of your Carnivore Tortilla… is that the title of your video ?
I love your animal shirts! Please work on a macaroni version. I need my old fashioned Mac and cheese to survive!
Are these Konjac noodles Steve?
Thanks for all the culinary investigation Steve. ❤️
Like others said thanks for what bring to us. In one of your podcast, I think vacation recap, about happy people. I got to thinking about the “Innovation of Foodies”. Years ago we all had colorful meals of meat, maybe potatoes, green veggies, yellow veggies, etc., most colors represented. Then people became vegans or vegetarian but wanted to make meat and bacon out of veggies so they get their fix without breaking their principles. Here we are today as keto lovers trying to make food (starch, bread, ice cream…) into healthy foods we can enjoy. All in fun and joy of cooking. Kind of a paradigm shift: Food for thought. Please keep up the fun!
WOW! Thank you SO MUCH for doing these experiments and filming the results for us!!! Received my sodium alginate last week and my calcium lactate arrived yesterday…of course while I'm out of town! So excited to get back and make noodles! Choodles? : )
Baking gives me hope for a keto lasagna.
I so appreciate your efforts on our behalf. Your facial expression on the nasty tasting bite made me laugh and appreciate you more. Thanks.
I tried your recipe and it was an epic fail 🥺. I ended up with a lot of balls. And the noodles broke apart while stirring. I tried twice. The lupin recipe in your link was perfect. Still too chewy for my liking though. Thank you for all your work! Your carnivore tortillas are the best.
Ooh! Just in time. I was just going to make these.
Awesome. I also saw a video of someone making keto oyster sauce and oyster sauce and fish sauce are kind of the basics fort chow mein/lo mein. This opens up a lot of options come up before Keto are used to get rid of leftovers that way, if I had vegetables that needed to be used a chop them up throw in some chicken or shrimp with some soy sauce and oyster sauce and chow mein noodles. I kind of thought that was gonna be something I would lose going keto but not now. 🙌🏼🍾🎉
I've got to get some of those ingredients!
I haven't made these yet but I do have the stuff on hand. I will be making these on Monday when I have time. Thank you so much for the recipe!
Thank you! Appreciate your help with these questions we all have. Can't wait until I have everything to make them.
Hi Steve, my noodles were kinda soft but I was so glad they weren't rubbery I will still make them again. any idea what went wrong
What is the sodium content of the noodles? I am on a low sodium diet and don't want to invest in these ingredients till I find out.
Thanks Steve. Very interesting.
Whenever I've dehydrated things, I soak 15 to 30 minutes to rehydrate. 2 minutes wasn't nearly long enough. I'd have made pasta nests in serving sizes to dehydrate and store. I have the Excalibur, too. I love it.
Can you substitute egg for chicken?
THANK YOU so much for doing all these experiments to save us the hassle of doing them ourselves! I always get so excited about your new or adapted recipes and always have those questions! The ingredients to try the noodles myself are on the way! I can't wait!
Maybe use cake decorating tips for flat noodles?
Can't wait to see what you come up with next! This is really keeping keto fun for me. I'm glad we have creators like you and Ann that give your R&D to the people instead of constantly suggesting ridiculously expensive perishable products, meal services, and subscriptions.
I've been obsessed with these noodles since your first video. I've done the noodle with Rao's Arabiata, a Chicken Alfredo, Ramen, and even a butter and herb. They are so versatile and it definitely hits the spot when I'm having a noodle craving. I already realize I will need more ingredients! Good stuff, Sir!
Thanks so much Steve! This was super helpful 😊👍
I can't wait to try these!! ❤ 💙 💜
I don't know if anyone has asked this yet, but do you think these would work (still in spaghetti noodle shape but cut up in smaller pieces) for things like mac and cheese, goulash, stroganoff, etc…?
Steve! I’ve lost 100 lbs so far since Jan 18th on keto! Thank you for your videos! It’s been really tough not cheating the past 3 months. I’ve gone off and on literally like 6 times and so far I’m 9 days on and STILL not in nutritional ketosis. Highest my ketones have gotten is 0.7 and I’m eating less than 1,500 calories and less than 20 carbs. This is why I keep giving up but I’m determined to stick it out and lose another 50 lbs! I’m trying to make some keto videos myself to help young girls who struggle with weight problems. I was 320 lbs at age 13 and luckily that was my highest and starting weight this time around. I lost 100 lbs before over years by diet and exercise but then had a baby and PCOS wrecked my hormones. Keto has been the only thing to make my weight even budge! Thank you for trying these things!
I bought the ingredients, still need to try them. I think I have an improvement, though, hope you don't mind… Time will tell… Anyway, thanks for being our guinea pig. .. And for defying the soy police. LOL. Now on to defy the gluten patrol…
How do they compare to the other commercial noodles out there in terms of texture, rubbery, etc? any after taste? Awesome job as always.
for rehydrating, maybe let them soak longer (20 minutes). I love that these can be reliably frozen/thawed. I'm looking forward to trying some seasoned versions, using broth and spices, a little miso paste, bonito flakes? Could be some easy ready to grab meals. From spaghetti and meatballs to miso soup to ramen, the possibilities are endless
Really thankful for all your experiments, Steve. Thanks. Im wondering about using a ‘ricer’ with a very fine disc to produce lots of strands quickly.
Salutations Steve; Great Vid! Very informative. I hadn't even considered freezing the noodles, great idea. You have a very imaginative mind. Very creative. Thank so much. I cant wait to see your next vids. Good work.
I had these yesterday. I mean perfect noodles for any soup. Noodles were too thin so I will cut a piece off the squeeze bottle and maybe go faster… I will see. Plus it is one very long noodle which makes eating them very messy. Maybe squeeze them in in shorter intervals.
One main thing… The chicken smell. Canned chicken has this disgusting smell that I could still smell after they were done and when I put them into soup. I think I need to rinse the canned chicken before I use it.
Shiritake noodles make me bloated or create stomach cramps. These do not. And now that I can fry them…. WOW. Just nice. Will make more and see what I can do.
Might be worth getting a spatzle press for making the noodles
We make a lot of our noodles in KETO fashion after adding a few things for flavor,, but have never frozen them. I think I'm going to take a portion of them the next time we make them and freeze them. Great video
"leather shoestrings"…. not a win. lol Can't wait to try the stir fry….As always, great video
Making my second batch today!! My husband and I had the same discussion about the flatter noodle last night while devouring home made hot and sour soup over keto ramen and we also think the squeeze mayo bottle may be the way. I have a feeling I'm going to need the 'noodle maniac' size bags of ingredients.
So probably the only dry you can do is freeze dry them.
I would tend to think the problem with making thicker/wider noodles is going to be the penetration of the calcium lactate into the noodle. It seems like from observing the process, that the penetration is only about 0.5-1mm at most, so a thicker noodle, like a lasagna noodle, is not going to get enough penetration to properly "cure". Now, if you could make a wide/thing flat-noodle dispenser nozzle that had a consistent flow rate all along its length, and use some kind of circulator in the water bath, you might be able to make a really thin lasagna noodle strip, but that would be an awful lot of work to manufacture, adjust, and use. I'd think the same issue would be required for making any other kind of noodle. You have to make sure to get the calcium lactate solution at sufficient strength to all parts of the noodle, and the thickness at any part of the sructure's cross-section would have to not exceed the limit of the penetration.
Great follow up video! The answers will come in handy. My stuff to make the noodles should be here next weekend. I can't wait to try making noodles. I also went to Keto Asian Flavors to see the original video. I'm definitely trying both your recipe and hers. They both look good and would be a nice addition to meal planning.
I loved the toaster oven to cook the noodles with sauce and cheese.
Thank you so much first all your testing can't wait to try these you made me laugh today🤣😂 thank you for that😘
How are we supposed to focus on noodles when you are wearing those awesome t-shirts? 😁
What an amazing life experience to have a grandpa, that is actually a youtube sensation 🙂 anyway, this "chicken pasta" is life changing, many thanks Steve again, keep doing this great job
Thanks Steve appreciate you. God Bless you and your Family.
