황태구이 (Hwangtae Gui)
Grilled Dried Pollack (Salted Style)
Yes, keto as served. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Korean dishes.
What it is
Salt-grilled dried pollack, a common and savory Korean dish. The pollack is often marinated simply in salt, sesame oil, and garlic before grilling, resulting in a crispy exterior and flaky, flavorful meat. Served without any sweet sauces or carb-heavy sides.
Key ingredients
Dried pollack, salt, sesame oil, garlic, black pepper, cooking oil (e.g., grapeseed or avocado oil).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary marinades are used; confirm it's a 'sogeum gui' (salt-grilled) style. Skip any sweet dipping sauces and opt for soy sauce with a touch of sesame oil and minced garlic if preferred.
Say this to the waiter (Korean)
황태구이는 설탕 양념 없이 소금구이로 해주세요. 단맛 나는 소스는 빼고, 간장, 참기름, 다진 마늘만 주세요.
No sugary marinades for 황태구이, please. I'd like it salt-grilled ('sogeum gui') with no sweet dipping sauces. Just soy sauce with sesame oil and garlic.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in pre-marinated fish or dipping sauces. Confirm plain preparation.
