How to make it keto
Request no liver spread (if used) and explicitly ask for no added sugar in the seasoning/sauce. You can also request minimal onion to further reduce carbs, or have the onions on the side.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in the sauce/seasoning is common. Some versions may use liver spread which can contain carbs. Large amounts of onions also contribute to carbs.
