Hakka Stuffed Tofu & Vegetables (Dry/Fried, Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: confirm fish paste has no starch/flour. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
An assortment of firm tofu and various vegetables (like bitter gourd, lady's finger, chilli) stuffed with a savory fish paste and/or minced pork mixture, then either deep-fried or pan-fried. The keto modification involves ensuring the fish paste contains no starch or flour, omitting any high-carb vegetables typically included (e.g., eggplant if starchy batter is used), and serving it with a low-sugar, no-starch sauce.
Key ingredients
Firm tofu, Fish paste (no starch/flour), Minced pork, Bitter gourd, Lady's finger (okra), Chilli, Green bell pepper, Soy sauce, Sesame oil, White pepper, Cooking oil. (Sauce: Low sugar soy sauce, water, ginger, garlic, erythritol/stevia if desired).
How to make it keto
Crucially, confirm fish paste has no starch/flour. Request specific keto-friendly vegetables for stuffing. Ask for a simple, low-sugar soy sauce based dipping sauce, no sweet sauce or starch-thickened gravy. Choose pan-fried over deep-fried if concerned about oil quality or batter.
Watch out for
Hidden starch/flour in fish paste, sweet sauces, excessive sugar in dipping sauces. Some vegetables like eggplant can be high carb or absorb a lot of oil if deep-fried in batter. Confirm no water chestnut in filling.
