水炊き (ケト変更)
Chicken Hot Pot (Keto-Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request the dashi broth to be prepared without sugar. About 6g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Japanese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A comforting Japanese hot pot featuring chicken (often bone-in pieces) and a selection of low-carb vegetables (such as cabbage, mushrooms, tofu) simmered in a light dashi broth. The key modification is ensuring the broth and any accompanying dipping sauces are sugar-free.
Key ingredients
Chicken (thigh, breast, wings), dashi broth, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, tofu, scallions, water, salt. Dipping sauce (keto ponzu: soy sauce, lemon juice, dashi).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request the dashi broth to be prepared without sugar. Opt for a sugar-free ponzu sauce or use plain soy sauce with a squeeze of lemon. Avoid high-carb vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or corn.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
水炊きは、出汁に砂糖なしでお願いします。つけダレは、砂糖なしポン酢か、醤油とレモンでお願いします。人参、じゃがいも、コーンは入れないでください。
For the 水炊き, please ensure the dashi broth has no sugar. I need sugar-free ponzu, or plain soy sauce with lemon. No carrots, potatoes, or corn.
Watch out for
Sugar in dashi broth or ponzu sauce, hidden sugar in pre-made ingredients, inclusion of high-carb vegetables.
