What it is

Key ingredients
Green beans, fresh kinome (sansho leaves), white miso (sugar-free), sugar-free soy sauce, dashi broth, sesame seeds.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure the dressing is made without sugar or mirin. Traditional Kinome Ae often contains sugar. Confirm use of low-carb vegetables like green beans, asparagus, or spinach instead of higher-carb options like bamboo shoots.
