What it is

Key ingredients

How to make it keto
Explicitly order 'no puto' (steamed rice cake). Confirm no sugar added to the stew.
Watch out for
Puto (steamed rice cake) is the primary carb risk. Some restaurants might add a pinch of sugar to balance the sourness, or a small amount of flour/cornstarch as a thickener (less common for traditional dinuguan).
