Sotong Goreng Tanpa Tepung (Keto)
Keto Crispy Fried Squid (Almond/Coconut Flour Coating)
Yes, with a tweak: request that the squid be coated with almond flour or coconut flour instead of traditional wheat flour. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Malaysian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender squid rings coated in a keto-friendly flour alternative (such as almond or coconut flour) and deep-fried until golden, crispy, and perfectly cooked.
Key ingredients
Squid rings, almond flour (or coconut flour), egg wash, seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika), cooking oil for deep frying.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request that the squid be coated with almond flour or coconut flour instead of traditional wheat flour. Ensure no sugar is added to the seasoning.
Say this to the waiter (Malay)
Sotong Goreng ini, minta salut dengan tepung badam atau kelapa, bukan tepung gandum. Jangan letak gula dalam perasa.
For the Sotong Goreng, please coat with almond or coconut flour, not wheat flour. Ensure no added sugar in the seasoning.
Watch out for
The primary risk is the use of high-carb wheat flour for coating. High oil absorption from deep frying can increase calories and fat.
