Sambal Chicken
Yes, with a tweak: request a low-sugar sambal. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Singaporean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent chicken pieces (often boneless thigh or breast) stir-fried in a fiery and fragrant sambal paste, typically made from chillies, shallots, garlic, and belacan (shrimp paste). It’s a spicy and flavourful dish.
Key ingredients
Chicken (thigh or breast), sambal paste (red chillies, shallots, garlic, belacan, tamarind paste), lemongrass (optional), kaffir lime leaves (optional), cooking oil.
How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Request a low-sugar sambal. Ensure no potatoes or other high-carb vegetables are added.
Watch out for
HIGH sugar content in commercial sambal or restaurant-made sambal, tamarind paste (small amount is fine), potential high-carb vegetables like onions/bell peppers if not specified.
