For health-conscious consumers and private label brands looking to revolutionize the noodle category, Low Carb Pho made with Eastern Morning Shirataki (konjac) noodles is the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation.
This dish delivers the bold, aromatic essence of Vietnamese beef noodle soup—with only 5g of net carbs—thanks to fiber-rich konjac noodles that replace high-glycemic rice noodles without compromising taste or texture.
Why Shirataki? The Science Behind the Noodle
From a manufacturing standpoint, Pho’s complexity lies in its noodle. Traditional rice noodles are high in carbs and become soggy in broth. Eastern Morning’s wet konjac noodles provide:
- High glucomannan content for better chew
- Neutral flavor that absorbs spices
- Odor-free preparation for a clean eating experience
These qualities make it ideal for meal-prep kits, private labels, and ready-to-serve pho cups.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Broil the Aromatics
Broil sliced onion and ginger until lightly charred. This enhances the flavor depth of the broth—essential for restaurant-grade pho.
2. Toast the Whole Spices
In a dry pot over medium heat, toast cloves, cardamom, star anise, cinnamon sticks for 2–3 minutes until aromatic.
3. Simmer the Broth
Add toasted spices, charred aromatics, beef broth, and 1.5 cups water. Add ground coriander. Simmer gently for 30 minutes.
4. Strain & Season
Strain the solids. Stir in fish sauce, monkfruit sweetener, and salt to taste.
5. Prepare the Shirataki Noodles
Eastern Morning noodles are pre-rinsed and sterilized. Simply boil or dry-fry them to remove moisture and improve sauce absorption.
6. Assemble the Bowl
Place noodles in a bowl, top with raw beef slices. Pour hot broth directly over to cook the beef instantly. Garnish with fresh basil, cilantro, chili, and lime.
