Begin by preparing the pork cutlets. Pound the cutlets gently to an even thickness.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, crushed pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each pork cutlet first into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a large pot, combine almond milk, chicken bone broth, minced garlic, grated ginger, miso paste, and soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Add sliced shiitake mushrooms to the broth and simmer for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Prepare keto-friendly noodles or shirataki noodles according to package instructions. Drain and divide into serving bowls.
Add a handful of baby spinach to each bowl with the noodles.
Slice the cooked pork cutlets and arrange them over the noodles and spinach.
Ladle the hot broth over the noodles, ensuring an even distribution of shiitake mushrooms.
Top each bowl with a soft-boiled egg (sliced in half), sliced green onions, and a drizzle of sesame oil.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb Tonkatsu Ramen!
