ケト鯖味噌煮
Keto Braised Mackerel in Miso
Yes, with a tweak: replace traditional mirin and sugar with keto-friendly sweeteners. About 6g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Japanese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Mackerel fillets slowly simmered in a rich, savory dashi and miso broth that is modified to be completely sugar-free. The braising process yields tender, flavorful fish with a deeply umami sauce.
Key ingredients
Mackerel fillets, red miso paste, dashi broth, sugar-free soy sauce, sake (evaporated alcohol), keto-friendly sweetener, grated ginger.
How to make it keto
Crucially, replace traditional mirin and sugar with keto-friendly sweeteners. Ensure no potato starch is used for thickening.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
みりんや砂糖は使わず、糖質オフの甘味料で。とろみ付けに片栗粉も使わないでください。
Please use keto-friendly sweeteners instead of mirin and sugar, and no potato starch for thickening.
Watch out for
Traditional Misoni is very high in sugar (mirin) and often uses sweet sake. Miso paste has some natural carbs.
