Keep it FODMAP friendly

Craving something savoury? This easy low FODMAP ramen with charred pork will hit the spot! Check out the notes below for tips on keeping this recipe FODMAP friendly!

First up, chicken broth. It can be a bit challenging to find a low FODMAP chicken broth or stock since most brands use onion or garlic.

For my North American peeps, both Campbell’s and GoBio have low FODMAP broths. Just double-check the labels to make sure you have the right ones before you buy.

If you can’t find these brands at your local store, you can also order Fody Food Co.’s low FODMAP chicken soup base online. All of their products have been certified low FODMAP by Monash University.

I use a ton of chicken broth in my kitchen, so I normally make my own in bulk. If you’d rather make your own broth, you can grab my recipe here.

Next up, fresh ginger. According to Monash University, ginger doesn’t have any detectable FODMAPs. So it won’t add anything to your FODMAP load.

Next up, green onion. Monash has determined that the green part of a green onion doesn’t have any FODMAPs either. So you can add a little extra without adding to your FODMAP load.

We’ll also be using oyster mushrooms. While many mushrooms are high FODMAP, according to the Monash app, oyster mushrooms are low FODMAP in servings of 1 cup (75 g) per sitting. Servings of 2.2 lbs or more are high in the polyols sorbitol and mannitol.

We’ll be using 1 cup of oyster mushrooms total, which works out to 19 g per serving. This is well within Monash’s recommended range.

Next up, soy sauce. Most soy sauces come with small amounts of garlic and onion powder, as well as wheat. Don’t panic! Monash has tested several brands and determined that 2 tbsp of soy sauce (42 g) is low FODMAP.

Our recipe calls for 1 tbsp of soy sauce total, which works out to 6 g per serving. This is well within Monash’s recommended range.

Normally ramen is made with hoisin sauce, but hoisin hasn’t been tested by Monash, yet. So we’re going to swap it out with oyster sauce, which is low FODMAP in servings of 1 tbsp (20 g) per sitting.

We’ll be using 2 tbsp of oyster sauce total, which works out to 15 g per serving. This is within Monash’s recommended range.

Next up, ramen noodles. If you’re in the elimination phase of the program, you’ll need to use gluten-free noodles.

According to Monash, gluten-free noodles are low FODMAP in servings of 1 cup (145 g) cooked per sitting. Servings of 1.5 cups (217 g) are high in fructans.

We’ll be using 1.5 lbs of ramen noodles total, which works out to 170 g per serving. This is well within Monash’s recommended range.

You can find gluten-free ramen noodles in most supermarkets, as well as in Asian markets or online.

The last thing you need to know about is spinach. According to Monash, baby spinach is low FODMAP in servings of 1.5 cups per sitting. Servings of 2 + 3/4 cups are high in the FODMAP fructan.

We’ll be using 1 cup of spinach, total. This works out to 12.5 g per sitting. This is well within Monash’s recommended range.
