Keto Braised Mackerel (Sugar-Free, No Radish)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no radish (mu) or other root vegetables. About 8.5g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Korean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Flaky mackerel fillets slowly braised in a savory, spicy, and umami-rich sauce. Modified for keto by ensuring the sauce is entirely sugar-free and starch-free, and by strictly omitting traditional high-carb ingredients such as radish. May include low-carb vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.
Key ingredients
Mackerel fillets, low-sodium sugar-free soy sauce, gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), garlic, ginger, green onions, sesame oil, water or broth. Optional low-carb vegetables: zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers.
