How to make it keto
Crucially request no added sugar (brown sugar is often used). Confirm no cornstarch or flour for thickening the sauce. Ensure dark soy sauce used is low-carb or very sparingly applied.
Watch out for
High risk of hidden sugar in the braising liquid/sauce. Some preserved vegetables might contain trace amounts of sugar from the curing process. Dark soy sauce can be high in carbs.
