Keto Jeyuk Bokkeum (Sugar-Free Marinade)
Spicy Pork Stir-fry (Keto Style, No Rice)
Yes, with a tweak: request a sugar-free marinade. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Korean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Thinly sliced pork marinated in a spicy gochugaru (Korean chili powder) based sauce, stir-fried with onions, scallions, and peppers. Modified to be sugar-free.
Key ingredients
Thinly sliced pork (e.g., shoulder or belly), gochugaru, soy sauce (or tamari), garlic, ginger, sesame oil, onion, bell peppers, scallions, keto-friendly sweetener (if explicitly requested/available).
How to make it keto
Request a sugar-free marinade. Many recipes include gochujang (chili paste) which has high sugar, so specify gochugaru (chili powder) instead or ensure low/no sugar gochujang. Clearly state 'no rice.'
Say this to the waiter (Korean)
키토 제육볶음은 설탕 없는 양념으로 해주세요. 고추장 대신 고춧가루로 양념해주시면 좋겠습니다. 밥은 빼주세요.
Keto Jeyuk Bokkeum, please. Use a sugar-free marinade, preferably with gochugaru instead of gochujang. No rice, please.
Watch out for
Gochujang (chili paste) is very high in sugar. Marinades often contain sugar/fruit juice. Served with rice. Onions and bell peppers contribute carbs.
