How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Explicitly request 'no kecap manis' (sweet soy sauce) and 'no sugar'. Confirm 'mentega' (butter) is used generously, not margarine with added sugar. Ensure no flour or cornstarch is used to thicken the sauce.
Say this to the waiter (Indonesian)
Lidah Masak Mentega: Tolong tanpa kecap manis dan tanpa gula. Pastikan pakai mentega asli, bukan margarin, dan saus tidak pakai tepung atau maizena.
No kecap manis, no sugar. Please confirm real butter is used, not margarine, and no flour or cornstarch in the sauce.
Watch out for
High risk of kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) or other added sugars in the sauce. Onions and garlic contribute minimal carbs, but restaurant portions can accumulate. Request minimal onion/garlic if carb-sensitive.
