Seafood Ssam Platter (No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no rice. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Korean food, so watch the portion.

A vibrant platter featuring various fresh or lightly cooked seafood (such as boiled octopus, steamed shrimp, or raw fish) served alongside an assortment of fresh leafy greens for wrapping. It emphasizes clean flavors and customizable bites.
Key ingredients
Assorted seafood (e.g., boiled octopus, steamed shrimp, raw fish slices), lettuce, perilla leaves, cabbage, garlic, green chilies, ssamjang (keto-modified).
How to make it keto
Absolutely no rice. Ensure ssamjang (dipping paste) is sugar-free or replaced with a simple mix of doenjang, gochujang (if used, check for sugar), garlic, and sesame oil. Focus on raw or plainly cooked seafood.
