What it is
Soft fried tofu, minced pork, and various mushrooms (shiitake, straw mushrooms) simmered in a savory gravy in a claypot. A hearty and comforting dish that needs sauce modification for keto.
Key ingredients
Fried tofu, minced pork, shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, spring onions, ginger, garlic, light soy sauce, minimal oyster sauce, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Request no starch (cornflour) or sugar in the sauce. Specify minimal oyster sauce due to its sugar and starch content.
Watch out for
As with many Chinese sauces, traditional oyster sauce and other braising liquids contain sugar and starch thickeners. Some types of mushrooms (like straw mushrooms) can contribute moderate carbs. Fried tofu may have residual carbs from frying.
