How to make it keto
Substitute traditional rice with cauliflower rice. Ensure eggplant is not breaded or floured before frying. Confirm no potatoes are included (some variations use potatoes).
Watch out for
Flour/breading on eggplant. High amounts of onions and other higher-carb vegetables. Cross-contamination with traditional rice if prepared in the same kitchen.
