Doesn’t a bowl full of pork ramen noodles just sound cozy? I’m a big fan of healthy soups and also a big fan of comfort food. This Paleo + Whole30 pork ramen makes me feel all warm and cozy. We even have some low carb, Keto options for you, too!
Quick + Easy
If you haven’t noticed…I’m a lazy cook. It’s true. I don’t like to spend THAT much time preparing a meal. Or if I do, it better put some leftovers in the fridge to cut down on cooking time another day. Well, these pork ramen noodles are both quick + easy AND make leftovers! You’ll be enjoying this meal in 30 minutes and have some in the fridge for lunch or another dinner. Win-win! Love it when that happens!
Quality Ground Pork
The key to delicious pork recipes is finding a good source of quality meats. We’ve been loving Moink to help supplement our freezer when we run out of the pork and beef we get from the pigs and cows Justin’s mom raises. It’s been so great having quality cuts in our freezer and being well-stocked, so quick + easy meals like this pork ramen can happen on the regular! We teamed up with our friends at Moink to bring you a special discount code since we’ve enjoyed their products so much! Enter the code REALSIMPLEGOOD at checkout to save $20 off your first box!
Noodle Options
In these pictures, we used rice noodles we found at a local health foods store – they’re Thai Kitchen brand and the ingredients are just rice and water. They come dry and you add them right into the soup to soften and cook. Another option would be to use Cappello’s paleo-friendly noodles. If you’re doing a Whole30 or trying to eat Keto/low carb, then use zucchini noodles instead. It’s an easy swap that will keep you on track with your own personal goals.

I made this recipe with a few changes to fit what we had and our taste. Baby Bok choy in place of kale; water with beef bullion in place of broth; rice wine vinegar in place of apple cider vinegar; thinly sliced yellow onions (added with broth) in place of green. I boiled the noodles separately as they were thin and didn’t want them to get lost under the bok choy. It was delicious! Made enough to have for lunch tomorrow too so super excited about that! Lol
Sounds amazing, glad you made it work for you!
We love this one! The soft boiled egg on top puts it over the edge!
I agree, the egg is a must!
Making this again tonight based on my 8 year-olds request! I’ve used ground chicken instead of ground pork and it’s equally as yummy. Our family loves this recipe..
So happy to hear that your family loves the recipe!
This recipe is fantastic. I added sliced mushroom and used spaghetti squash noodles. I couldn’t wait to eat leftovers for lunch the next day!
That sounds delicious! Good call on the squash noodles, we’ll have to try that 🙂
Soooo good and so fast! It really only took me 30 mins to make this! Amazing healthy soul warming deliciousness. I actually made it with both spiraled zucchini and rice noodles and it was perfection. This is another monthly staple added to my recipe mix.
So glad you loved it and thanks for coming back to leave a comment 🙂
