Low-Carb Egg Tteokbokki Meal Prep
🛒 Ingredients
• 8 eggs
• ½ cabbage
• Carrots
• 2 packs of konjac noodles
• Green onion
• Mozzarella cheese
• ¾ cup gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
• 1½ tbsp gochugaru (Korean red pepper powder)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1½ tbsp allulose or sugar
• 1 broth cube
Konjac noodles are a low-calorie alternative to wheat pasta. Made from the konjac plant, they are high in glucomannan, a fiber that promotes fullness and aids digestion. These gluten-free noodles have a chewy texture and can be added to dishes like stir-fries and soups, allowing you to enjoy a pasta-like texture with fewer calories.

👩🏻🍳 Recipe — Makes 4 servings
1. Cut the cabbage into bite-sized pieces and steam half of it.
2. Add a little vinegar to boiling water and boil 8 eggs for 10 minutes.
• After boiling, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to ice water. This makes them easier to peel.

3. In a pot, add 2½ cups of water and 1 broth cube. Bring to a boil.
4. Add gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, and allulose (or sugar). Stir well and let it cook.
5. To thicken the sauce, mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch with cold water and add it to the pot.
• Normally, the sauce thickens when you cook it with rice cakes, but since this recipe is rice cake-free, the cornstarch does the job.
6. Stir until the sauce thickens and bubbles. It’s ready!

7. In an air-fryer-safe container, layer boiled eggs (I used two per serving), konjac noodles, steamed cabbage, carrots, and green onion.
8. Pour the prepared sauce over everything.
9. Store in the fridge. When ready to eat, top with mozzarella cheese, microwave for 1 minute, and air fry for 3 minutes.
📌 Cooking Tips
• Konjac noodles: These low-carb noodles are an excellent alternative to rice cakes. They absorb the sauce well and have a chewy texture. You can find them here.
• Adjust the spice level: Add more or less gochugaru depending on your preference.
• Meal prep hack: Store the sauce separately if you prefer to customize the amount for each serving.
This low-carb egg stir-fry is a guilt-free, satisfying dish that’s perfect for weight loss or maintaining a healthy diet. It’s rich in protein, low in carbs, and packed with flavor. Give it a try—you might even forget about traditional tteokbokki! 😋
