How to make it keto
Request the duck to be steamed or grilled simply with salt and pepper. Ensure the ponzu sauce is made without sugar or mirin, or opt for plain salt/lemon. Confirm no carb-heavy accompaniments.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
鴨せいろ蒸しは、鴨を塩胡椒だけで蒸すか焼いてください。ポン酢は砂糖やみりん抜きで、または塩とレモンでお願いします。
For the Kamo Seiro Mushi, please steam or grill the duck with just salt and pepper. I'd like sugar-free ponzu, or just salt and lemon.
Watch out for
Traditional ponzu sauce often contains mirin or sugar. Verify the sauce is sugar-free or choose a simple salt/lemon dressing.
