My topping choice for Paleo Cold Ramen Noodles
Traditionally this dish often comes with shredded crab meat. I replaced it with grilled chicken thighs to keep it more filling. Chicken is also a common item that most people can enjoy if they are allergic to shellfish like I am.
You can absolutely replace chicken thighs with chicken breasts and use the same seasoning in the recipe below. If you use chicken breasts, it’s best to use thin sliced breasts or butterfly a thick one and lightly pound it flat so it will not only cook faster but the flavor will come through more easily.
Soft Boiled Ramen-Style Eggs + Iced Cold Soy-Free Asian Noodle Dressing
Every wonder how to make Ramen shop style water boiled eggs with soft egg yolks in the middle ?
BonAppetit did an experiment with eggs boiling in hot water and various cooking times. In my own attempts, I found that between 6 ½ to 7 minutes gives me the most desired soft boiled eggs with the yolk still soft and runny in the middle.
To go with the Paleo Cold Ramen Noodle low carb theme, the dressing is soy free with no added sugar. The same dressing will go super well with salad, light dipping sauce for grilled pork, chicken, or beef.
A bowl of yummy goodness ! ❤️❤️

Chicken seasonings:
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garlic and Onion granules to taste
Cold ramen dressing:
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 1 ½ tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- ¾ to 1 tsp grated ginger
- Few drops of hot sesame oil, optional item

- Radish, sliced, optional item
- Seaweed, Japanese Wakame, optional item*
- Scallions, chopped, as much as you like
- 2-3 soft boiled eggs *see instructions below
Instructions
- Spiralize 1 large zucchini to make zoodles. Cover and set aside in the fridge. Lightly season both sides of chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic and onion granules. Grill the chicken thighs until they are completely cooked through. Set aside to cool.
- Blanched items: In a medium sized pot of boiling water, quickly blanch the spinach for a few seconds then drain in a colander, rinse under cold running water, and let it drip dry or gently squeeze out excess water. Set aside. Use the same pot of boiling water to quickly blanch shrimp until the color of the shrimp just starts to turn pink. Rinse under cold running water and set aside.
- Soft boiled eggs: In a medium sized pot of boiling water, carefully add 2-3 eggs to the boiling water. Cook the eggs over medium heat in the simmering water for 7 minutes. Gently push and move the eggs around in the pot to ensure even cooking on all sides. Remove and place the eggs in an ice bath of water until they are chilled and cool to touch. Gently tap the eggs and peel under cold running water. Slice in half right before serving.
- Assemble: In a medium size serving bowl, add zoodles, sliced grilled chicken, shrimp, spinach, egg, and the rest of ingredients under toppings. Pour over the dressing before serving. Add a few drops of hot sesame oil if desired.
Hi! I just wanted to say that this was a delicious recipe. The first time I made it, I followed your recipe as is with the addition of gluten-free ramen noodles to give it a little more body since I’m not avoiding grains. Today I tripled the recipe so I can have it ready to-go for dinner the next couple of days. Thank you!
Your recipes are always so inspiring, colorful and delicious! Thank you for sharing your creative energy with us. I can’t wait to make this with the cold tofu pairing.
Thanks so much, Sara. Appreciate it !
