生酮干酿豆腐 (Shēng Tóng Gān Niàng Dòu Fǔ)
Keto Dry Stuffed Tofu & Vegetables (No Sweet Sauce)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no sweet sauce (tau cheo sauce). About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A selection of fresh vegetables and tofu items, typically stuffed with savory fish paste. This 'dry' keto modification excludes all noodles/rice and, most importantly, the traditional sweet brown sauce, relying instead on the natural flavors and optional keto-friendly chilli.
Key ingredients
Tofu (various forms like tau pok, tau kwa), bitter gourd, lady's finger, brinjal, chilli (all stuffed with fish paste), fish paste (check for minimal starch), clear broth (no starch/sugar, optional on side).
How to make it keto
Absolutely no sweet sauce (tau cheo sauce). Request chilli sauce on the side (confirm no sugar in the chilli sauce). No noodles or rice. Ensure fish paste has minimal fillers or starch (ask if they can use pure fish paste).
Watch out for
Hidden starch/sugar in commercial fish paste. Small amounts of natural carbs from vegetables. Sweet chilli sauce often contains sugar (request plain chilli or omit).
