This Healthy Beef Ramen is a cozy, protein-packed bowl that skips the junky ingredients found in instant ramen. It’s made with a rich garlic-ginger broth, grass-fed ground beef, miracle noodles (or your favorite paleo-friendly noodle), and soft-boiled eggs. A nourishing, flavor-loaded upgrade to your usual noodle bowl—completely paleo!
Why You Should Make This Healthy Beef Ramen
Traditional ramen can be full of MSG, wheat, soy, and refined oils—but this version keeps it simple and clean. Coconut aminos give a soy-free umami punch, sesame oil brings that toasty depth, and ground beef + eggs deliver protein to keep you full and balanced. It’s warming, satisfying, and fast to make.
If you love comforting meals that still feel light, you’ll also love my Healthy BiBimBap Bowl—a cozy paleo dinner with a sweet-spicy twist.

Storage & Meal Prep

Top Tip
Use miracle noodles straight from the bag but rinse them really well and sauté dry in a pan for a few minutes before adding to the bowl. It removes any odor and helps the broth cling to the noodles better.
