Morkovcha (Keto Korean Carrot Salad)
Keto Spicy Korean Carrot Salad
Yes, with a tweak: request a smaller portion to manage carrot carbohydrates. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kazakhstani food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A ubiquitous Central Asian side dish of shredded carrots marinated in a spicy, garlicky oil dressing, seasoned with coriander and chili. While carrots contain natural carbohydrates, this can be enjoyed in moderation as a flavorful keto side.
Key ingredients
Carrots (shredded), garlic, vegetable oil, vinegar, chili flakes, ground coriander, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto

Morkovcha, please a smaller portion. And confirm no added sugar in the dressing.
