肉碎香菇焖豆腐 (Rou Sui Xiang Gu Men Dou Fu)
Braised Tofu with Minced Pork and Mushrooms (Keto Modified - No Starch, Low Sugar)
Yes, with a tweak: request 'no starch/thickener' in the braising sauce and 'minimal to no sugar'. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Singaporean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Silken tofu cubes braised with savory minced pork and tender shiitake mushrooms. This comforting dish can be made keto by ensuring the braising sauce is free of starch and has minimal to no added sugar, focusing on umami flavors.
Key ingredients
Silken tofu, minced pork, fresh shiitake mushrooms, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce (low sugar version if available), cooking oil, water or chicken stock, spring onions for garnish.
How to make it keto
Request 'no starch/thickener' in the braising sauce and 'minimal to no sugar'. Specify a clear, light braising liquid rather than a heavy, starchy gravy.
Watch out for
Starchy sauce thickeners (e.g., cornstarch), hidden sugars in braising liquid or oyster sauce.
