Keto Belacan Fried Cauliflower Rice
Yes, with a tweak: substitute white rice with cauliflower rice. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Malaysian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A pungent and spicy fried 'rice' dish, keto-fied using cauliflower rice. Wok-fried with aromatic belacan (shrimp paste), chili, prawns, and egg, offering a bold Malaysian flavor profile without the carbs.
Key ingredients
Cauliflower rice, prawns, egg, belacan paste, bird's eye chilies, garlic, onion, light soy sauce (low-carb), cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Substitute white rice with cauliflower rice. Request no sugar is added to balance the chili/belacan. Confirm belacan paste used is free from added sugars (most are, but good to check).
