Keto Nikujaga (Beef and Vegetable Stew)
Keto Nikujaga-style Beef and Vegetable Stew (Potato-Free)
Yes, with a tweak: omit potatoes entirely. About 7g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Japanese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A comforting Japanese-style stew featuring thinly sliced beef, konjac noodles (shirataki), and keto-friendly vegetables like daikon radish and green beans, simmered in a savory dashi broth. The traditional potatoes are entirely omitted, and the broth is prepared without sugar or mirin.
Key ingredients
Thinly sliced beef (e.g., chuck or sirloin), shirataki noodles, daikon radish, green beans, small amount of onion, dashi broth, soy sauce (sugar-free), sake (minimal, mostly evaporates), neutral cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit potatoes entirely. Ensure the broth is prepared without sugar or traditional mirin; use sugar-free substitutes or omit for a savory profile. Limit onion content.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
ケト肉じゃがは、ジャガイモ抜きでお願いします。出汁は砂糖とみりんを使わないで、玉ねぎも少なめにしてください。
For the Keto Nikujaga, please omit potatoes. The broth should be sugar-free, without mirin. Limit the onion.
Watch out for
Onions, daikon (in large quantities), any hidden sugar in soy sauce or mirin, traditional mirin, sake (though minimal amounts have low net carbs).
