What it is
A popular appetizer or side dish featuring deep-fried firm tofu and boiled pork belly (or sometimes pork ear), dressed in a tangy and savory blend of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, red onions, and chili. Served without rice.
Key ingredients
Pork belly/ear, firm tofu, white vinegar, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), red onion, garlic, chili, black pepper, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no sugar in the sauce. If strict keto, ask for coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Request more pork belly and less tofu for a higher fat content.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in the sauce, high-carb soy sauce (opt for coconut aminos if available).
