A bowl of ramen is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cozy night in. This High Protein Ramen is easy to make and is so nutritious. Each bowl has about 32 grams of protein!

When I first developed this recipe, I wanted to dress up some Instant Ramen noodles to make it taste more like restaurant-quality ramen. One day, I was looking at the macros and realized that it was pretty high in protein! I knew that I could take it a step further and make it even more protein-rich and delicious.

Ingredients for High Protein Ramen

I make this ramen by adding just a few simple ingredients to my instant ramen noodles.

Bone Broth 

I like to use bone broth in this recipe instead of chicken stock or broth. Extra points if you make it yourself with my recipe. Bone broth is rich in protein and lots of other nutrients. Plus, it tastes amazing! If you don’t want to make your own, try the Organic Chicken Sipping Bone Broth from Costco.

Rice Ramen

I use Lotus Foods Rice Ramen noodles. Rice ramen is healthier and has much more protein than traditional instant ramen noodles.

Sesame Oil

A little bit of sesame oil goes a LONG way. 1/4 teaspoon is all you need!

Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos

Just adds a yummy and salty flavor to the broth. I’ve used both soy and coconut aminos and they work great.

Organic Season Salt

This is really the heart and soul of this recipe. Without this it won’t be good! I absolutely love Redmond’s Organic Sea Salt in this recipe. It tastes like an Instant Ramen seasoning packet but way better! Use my code AMBERSKITCHEN for 15% off.

Egg 

I love to top my ramen with a soft-boiled egg. It is delicious and adds extra protein.

Green Onions

Fresh and pretty, too! I love to add green onions as a garnish, but it is totally optional.

Macros for High Protein Ramen

This High Protein Ramen recipe has really great macros. Probably better than you would expect. I’ve only included the bone broth, ramen noodles, and egg in my count because the other ingredients are pretty negligible. For this recipe you’ll get 32 grams of protein!

Ramen for One 

This recipe makes just one serving, but you can multiply it to make more servings. I love to make this for myself when I want something yummy that isn’t too much work, but I also like to make this for my family as well.

Notes

The @redmondrealsalt organic season salt honestly tastes almost identical to the ramen seasoning packet! Use code “Amberskitchen” for 15% off! I have a link to all Redmond products on my linktree in bio, and another link in my “shop Amber’s Kitchen Favorites” on my website, Amberskitchencooks.com
The lotus foods rice ramen noodles, I buy those at Costco but they are also available on Amazon, or in other grocery stores as well!
Don’t overcook the noodles or they will turn to mush! They really only need 4 minutes.
The sesame oil, soy sauce, green onions and egg are totally optional! The organic season salt is not optional- it will not be nearly as good without it!
If you don’t have these exact noodles, thin spaghetti noodles work as a good substitute
A little bit of sesame oil goes a LONG way. 1/4 teaspoon is all you need!
Use a good quality broth or bone broth and I promise it will taste better!

  1. I’m pregnant right now and have been craving ramen soooo bad. I wanted to find a better option with more protein in it and I found this one. Holy cow… this recipe is incredible and honestly I can see myself making this very often. Great recipe and follow all of the tips Amber gives!!

  2. My absolute favorite quick lunch! So flavorful and doesn’t leave you feeling sluggish! The Redmond season salt is a must in my opinion. Another Ambers Kitchen household hit!
