How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure cauliflower rice is used instead of actual rice. Specify a very small portion of green peas to manage carb count. Confirm no sugar in seasoning and no other high-carb additions.
Watch out for
Traditional 'Peas 'n Rice' uses high-carb rice and often pigeon peas (also carby). Even green peas add carbs; request a very small quantity. Hidden sugars in smoked meats or seasoning blends.
