Raw Oysters with Keto Dipping Sauce
Yes, with a tweak: request plain oysters with lemon. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Korean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Fresh raw oysters, a delicacy enjoyed for their briny flavor. Typically served with chili sauce (chojang) or soy sauce, which can be modified for keto.
Key ingredients
Fresh oysters, lemon wedges, chopped garlic, chili peppers. Dipping options: plain soy sauce, saeujeot, or sugar-free chili sauce.
How to make it keto
Request plain oysters with lemon. Avoid traditional chogochujang (often high in sugar/starch). Opt for plain soy sauce (or tamari), optionally with a touch of sesame oil and minced garlic, or just fresh lemon.
Say this to the waiter (Korean)
굴회는 초고추장 말고 레몬만 주시고요, 간장 양념이나 참기름, 다진 마늘만 있으면 괜찮아요.
For the Oysters, I'd like them plain with just lemon. Please don't serve chogochujang. Soy sauce with sesame oil and garlic is okay.
Watch out for
Sugars and starch in traditional dipping sauces (e.g., chogochujang).
