Braised Yellowtail with Daikon (Keto-Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: request no mirin, sugar, or high-fructose corn syrup in the braising liquid. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Japanese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A comforting Japanese classic, featuring tender, fatty yellowtail (buri) fillets and gently braised daikon radish, simmered in a savory dashi broth. This keto-modified version ensures a sugar-free braising liquid and a controlled portion of daikon to keep carbohydrate counts low.
Key ingredients
Yellowtail fillets, daikon radish (limited portion), dashi broth, keto-friendly soy sauce (wheat-free, sugar-free), fresh ginger, scallions for garnish.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no mirin, sugar, or high-fructose corn syrup in the braising liquid. Ask for a reduced portion of daikon radish or very thinly sliced pieces to minimize carb intake.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
ぶり大根は、煮汁にみりん、砂糖、高果糖液糖は使わないでください。大根は少なめか、薄切りでお願いします。
For Keto Buri Daikon, please ensure no mirin, sugar, or HFCS in the broth. Also, reduce the daikon or slice it very thinly.
Watch out for
Traditional Buri Daikon relies heavily on mirin and sugar in its braising sauce. Daikon radish contains moderate carbohydrates, and large portions can significantly increase net carb count.
