Straight from TikTok, this viral ramen swaps regular noodles for Immi's low-carb version and tosses them in butter, garlic, red pepper flakes, sweetener and Everything Bagel Seasoning. Spicy, sweet and savory in every bite.
Another TikTok food hack you have to try. Just like baked feta pasta and White Claw Slushies, this one went viral for a reason. It’s actually delicious.
I’m guilty of watching TikTok but the only reason I do is for the food. Some of the most creative recipes show up there and I love turning them into versions I can actually eat. It’s worth the bottomless scroll watching home cooks film snappy videos of their creations.
This ramen is one of them. Simple ingredients (butter, garlic, red pepper flakes, sweetener and everything bagel seasoning) make a spicy-sweet sauce that coats every noodle.
What makes this ramen different?
- Real ramen noodles – Traditional ramen uses wheat noodles that are very high in carbs. Most substitutes use shirataki noodles, but let’s be honest – shirataki doesn’t taste or feel like real ramen. This recipe uses Immi noodles, which actually taste like ramen without the carb load.
- Unique seasoning blend – You can use the flavoring packet that comes with your noodles, but I make my own. This blend creates a buttery, sweet and spicy flavor without sugar.
KetoFocus fans agree it’s the best!
“I missed ramen so much on keto! This is the perfect solution. So easy to make!”

Frequently Asked Questions
What does TikTok ramen taste like?
The flavor is addicting. Buttery, spicy, sweet and savory all in one bite.
Is ramen keto?
Traditional ramen uses wheat noodles that are high in carbs. Immi noodles or shirataki noodles are low-carb alternatives. Maruchan Ramen is very high in net carbs (58g per 100g serving).
As someone who grew up eating Top Ramen for dinner, this takes me back! But the flavors are more elevated and so so good.
For the kelp noodles you have to prep them first in a “bubble bath”, the juice of one lemon with 1 Tbsp of baking soda (hence the bubbles), then stir your noodles in there and rub them at the same time for one minute. Rinse it well and no more crunchy. Great for stir fries and prob they will soak up that ramen sauce.
