Keto Chueo Twigim (추어 튀김)
Almond Flour Battered Fried Loach
Yes, with a tweak: ensure a non-wheat flour (e.g., almond flour) is used for the batter. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Korean food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Loach, almond flour, sugar-free dipping sauce
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure a non-wheat flour (e.g., almond flour) is used for the batter. Confirm dipping sauce is sugar-free. Deep frying ensures high fat content.
Say this to the waiter (Korean)
밀가루 대신 아몬드 가루 같은 논-밀가루 반죽으로 해주세요. 찍어 먹는 소스는 설탕 없이 부탁드립니다.
Please use non-wheat flour for the batter, like almond flour. I need the dipping sauce to be sugar-free.
