How to make it keto
Explicitly request a low-carb coating (e.g., almond flour, pork panko) instead of traditional wheat flour and panko. Ensure the frying oil is keto-friendly. Avoid any sugary sauces (like tonkatsu sauce); opt for lemon or a simple keto ponzu for dipping.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
衣は小麦粉ではなく低糖質粉を使い、ケトフレンドリーな油で揚げてください。ソースは使わず、レモンか糖質オフのポン酢でお願いします。
Please use a low-carb coating like almond flour, fry in keto-friendly oil, and serve with lemon or keto ponzu instead of sugary sauce.
Watch out for
Traditional breading (wheat flour and panko), hidden sugars in common dipping sauces (e.g., tonkatsu sauce).
