Beef sirloin or pork shoulder (thick-cut), sesame oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, optional scallions.
How to make it keto
Confirm no sugar or sweet marinades are used. Some restaurants might add a touch of soy sauce; ensure it's keto-friendly or minimal.
Say this to the waiter (Korean)
설탕이나 단 양념은 안 쓰시죠? 간장은 적게 또는 키토 친화적인 걸로 부탁드립니다.
Please confirm no sugar or sweet marinades are used. Use minimal or keto-friendly soy sauce.
Watch out for
