Fish Head Steamboat (Keto Modified - No Carbs)
Fish Head Hotpot with Vegetables and Tofu
Yes, with a tweak: request no added sugar or starch in the broth. About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Singaporean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A clear, flavorful broth simmered with a whole fish head, tomatoes, spring onions, ginger, tofu, and other vegetables. Modifications are crucial to ensure no added starch in the broth and to manage higher-carb vegetables.
Key ingredients
Fish head (e.g., snapper), fish bones for broth, napa cabbage, tomatoes, spring onions, ginger, tofu, fried shallots, cooking oil, minimal taro (yam).
How to make it keto
Request no added sugar or starch in the broth. Ask for less taro or omit it if strictly adhering to very low carbs. Focus on fish, tofu, and leafy greens.
Watch out for
Taro (yam) is starchy; some restaurants might add sugar to the broth or use pre-made stock with additives. Fried shallots may have a light flour coating. Be sure to confirm the broth is pure.
