키토 명태 조림 (설탕 무첨가 양념)

Key ingredients
Dried pollack, soy sauce, gochugaru (Korean chili powder), garlic, ginger, green onions, sesame oil, keto-friendly sweetener (e.g., erythritol or stevia), water or broth.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request a sugar-free braising sauce. Ensure no starch thickeners are used to create the sauce's body. Restaurants may be able to accommodate omitting sugar or using alternatives if requested in advance.
Say this to the waiter (Korean)
명태 조림 양념은 설탕과 전분 없이 만들어 주세요.
For the Myeongtae Jorim, please make the sauce without sugar and no starch thickeners.
