What it is
A hearty dish featuring tender pork hock (trotters) stewed until melt-in-your-mouth soft with rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, typically in a savoury dark soy sauce based gravy. The keto modification involves ensuring the gravy is low in sugar and not thickened with starch.
Key ingredients
Pork hock, dried shiitake mushrooms, ginger, garlic, dark soy sauce (low sugar), light soy sauce (low sugar), star anise (optional), cooking oil, water.
How to make it keto
Request no cornstarch or any thickening agent in the stewing liquid. Confirm the use of low-sugar soy sauces and absolutely no added sugar to the braising liquid. The skin and fat are keto-friendly.
Watch out for
Dark soy sauce often contains sugar and caramel. Many stewed dishes have sugar added for flavour balance or starch for thickening gravy.
