How to make it keto
Crucially, request a very low-sugar or no-sugar sambal. Ensure no other high-carb vegetables like carrots or potatoes are added. Request no cornstarch in the sambal or for thickening.
Watch out for
Sambal paste often contains significant amounts of sugar. Petai beans themselves are moderately carby (higher than leafy greens), so portion control is important.
