How to make it keto
Crucially, substitute traditional white rice with riced cauliflower. Ensure no sugar is added to the seasoning or during cooking. Be mindful of hidden carbs in certain vegetables (e.g., peas, corn, carrots) if used.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
ご飯は白米ではなくカリフラワー米でお願いします。味付けに砂糖はなしで、糖質の多い野菜は避けてください。
Please use riced cauliflower instead of white rice. No sugar in the seasoning. Please avoid high-carb vegetables.
Watch out for
Traditional fried rice is very high in carbs (white rice, sugar in seasoning). Some restaurants might use pre-made seasoning sauces that contain sugar. Cauliflower rice contains natural carbs.
