키토 떡볶이 (두부/어묵, 애호박)
Keto Spicy 'Tteokbokki' (with Tofu/Fish Cakes & Zucchini)
Yes, with a tweak: omit ALL rice cakes. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Korean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A spicy, sweet, and savory dish reimagined for keto. Instead of chewy rice cakes, this version uses firm tofu or low-carb fish cakes, along with zucchini or other keto-friendly vegetables, simmered in a sugar-free gochujang-based sauce.
Key ingredients
Firm tofu, low-carb fish cakes, zucchini, sugar-free gochujang, garlic, green onions
How to make it keto
Crucially, omit ALL rice cakes. Substitute with firm tofu, low-carb fish cakes (verify ingredients), and zucchini. Request a sugar-free sauce and confirm no starch thickeners. Be wary of hidden sugars in restaurant gochujang.
Say this to the waiter (Korean)
떡은 다 빼주세요. 두부, 저탄수 어묵, 애호박으로 대체해주시고, 양념은 설탕, 전분 없이 해주세요.
No rice cakes, please. Substitute with firm tofu, low-carb fish cakes, and zucchini. Sugar-free sauce with no starch thickeners.
Watch out for
Traditional rice cakes (critical), high sugar content in traditional sauces (gochujang, corn syrup), starch thickeners, high-carb vegetables if present (e.g., sweet potato).
