Keto Chuka Don (Stir-fried Meat and Vegetables over Cauliflower Rice)
Keto Chinese-Style Stir-fry with Meat and Vegetables (Cauliflower Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: essential: Omit traditional white rice and substitute with cauliflower rice. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Japanese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A generous and satisfying stir-fry featuring assorted meats (typically pork, chicken, and/or shrimp) combined with a variety of keto-friendly vegetables (e.g., napa cabbage, bean sprouts, bell peppers, mushrooms). The savory sauce is prepared without starch or sugar, and the dish is served over a bed of cauliflower rice instead of traditional white rice.
Key ingredients
Pork slices, chicken pieces, shrimp, napa cabbage, bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers, green onions, garlic, ginger, sugar-free soy sauce, sake (minimal), sesame oil, neutral cooking oil, cauliflower rice.
How to make it keto
Essential: Omit traditional white rice and substitute with cauliflower rice. The stir-fry sauce MUST be made without cornstarch or any other thickening agents, and absolutely no added sugar or mirin. Limit high-carb vegetables like carrots.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
ケト中華丼、ご飯をカリフラワーライスでお願いします。あんかけは砂糖、みりん、片栗粉なしで、人参も少なめにしてください。
I'd like the Keto Chuka Don with cauliflower rice instead of white rice. The stir-fry sauce must be sugar-free, mirin-free, and cornstarch-free. Please limit carrots.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in pre-made sauces or soy sauce, starch in traditional thickening agents, large quantities of onions/bell peppers, traditional rice.
