Hotplate Tofu with Seafood (No Starch/Sugar Sauce)
Sizzling Tofu with Prawns and Squid
Yes, with a tweak: request no starch (cornflour) or sugar in the sauce. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Singaporean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tofu and mixed seafood (prawns, squid) stir-fried with vegetables like mushrooms, carrots, and peas, served sizzling on a hotplate. The key modification is to ensure the sauce is light and free of starch and added sugar.
Key ingredients
Fried tofu, prawns, squid, mushrooms (shiitake, button), carrots, peas, egg, spring onions, ginger, garlic, cooking oil, light soy sauce (ensure gluten-free if strict), minimal oyster sauce.
How to make it keto
Request no starch (cornflour) or sugar in the sauce. Ask for no peas/carrots or a very minimal amount. Specify minimal oyster sauce, as it contains sugar/starch.
Watch out for
Traditional sauces (oyster sauce, dark soy sauce) contain sugar and starch. Peas and carrots are higher carb vegetables. Fried tofu itself might have a very light coating or deep-fried in regular oil with potential carb residue.
