마늘 장아찌
Pickled Garlic (Keto-Friendly)
Yes, with a tweak: request that the pickling liquid be made without sugar. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Korean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Whole garlic cloves, pickled in a soy-based brine. Offers a pungent, savory, and slightly tangy flavor with a crisp texture. While garlic itself contains some natural carbs, this dish can be made keto-friendly by using a sugar-free pickling liquid.
Key ingredients
Garlic cloves, soy sauce, vinegar, water, chili flakes
How to make it keto

Say this to the waiter (Korean)
마늘 장아찌는 설탕 없이 담근 것으로 주세요.
For the Maneul Jangajji, please ensure the pickling liquid is made without any sugar.
Watch out for
High risk of hidden sugars in the pickling brine. Natural carbohydrates from the garlic cloves (approx. 1g net carb per clove) should also be considered for larger portions.
