홍어 삼합 (Hong-eo Samhap)
Fermented Skate, Pork Belly, and Kimchi Platter
Yes, with a tweak: ensure kimchi is sugar-free. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Korean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A unique and bold dish combining slices of pungent fermented skate, tender boiled pork belly, and aged kimchi, typically eaten together as a wrap. The flavors are intense and distinct.
Key ingredients
Fermented skate (hong-eo), boiled pork belly, aged kimchi (mukeunji), sliced garlic, green chilies. Often served with saeujeot (salted shrimp).
How to make it keto
Ensure kimchi is sugar-free. Pork belly and skate are naturally keto. Avoid consuming with makgeolli (rice wine) if offered. Confirm saeujeot has no added sugar.
Say this to the waiter (Korean)
홍어 삼합은 김치와 새우젓에 설탕이 안 들어갔는지 확인해 주세요.
For Hong-eo Samhap, please ensure the kimchi is sugar-free and the saeujeot has no added sugar.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in kimchi, especially if not aged/mukeunji. Some saeujeot preparations might contain sugar. Usually served with makgeolli (rice wine) as a pairing, which is high-carb.
