Keto Käsenocken (mit Shirataki-Nudeln oder Gemüse)
Keto Cheese Noodles (with Shirataki or Vegetables)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request shirataki noodles or sautéed low-carb vegetables instead of traditional Spätzle. About 6g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A keto interpretation of the classic Austrian cheese noodles (Kasnocken/Käsespätzle). Instead of traditional high-carb egg noodles, shirataki noodles or sautéed low-carb vegetables (such as cabbage or zucchini) are generously tossed with a rich blend of Austrian cheeses (e.g., Bergkäse, Emmentaler), ample butter, and a small amount of fried onions for flavor.
Key ingredients
Shirataki noodles OR cabbage/zucchini, various hard cheeses (e.g., Bergkäse, Emmentaler), butter, onions (minimal), chives.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request shirataki noodles or sautéed low-carb vegetables instead of traditional Spätzle. Ensure onions are used sparingly and fried in butter, not breaded. Confirm no flour is used to thicken.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Keto Käsenocken bitte, mit Shirataki-Nudeln oder kohlenhydratarmem Gemüse statt Spätzle. Sind die Zwiebeln sparsam und in Butter gebraten, nicht paniert? Und keine Mehlbindung?
Keto Käsenocken, please, with shirataki noodles or low-carb vegetables, not Spätzle. Onions in butter, not breaded? No flour to thicken the dish?
Watch out for
Onions (carb count can add up if a large amount is used), potential for hidden starch/flour in pre-shredded cheese (unlikely with authentic Austrian cheese).
