咕咾肉 (无粉/糖)
Sweet & Sour Pork (Keto Style - No Batter/Sugar)
Yes, with a tweak: nO batter (不裹粉炸) and NO sugar (不要糖) in the sauce. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Singaporean food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto interpretation of the classic sweet and sour pork, featuring pan-fried or grilled pork pieces instead of battered and deep-fried, tossed with bell peppers and onions in a low-sugar, vinegar-based sauce. Pineapple is usually omitted or used in extremely minimal quantities for flavor.
Key ingredients
Pork loin/belly, bell peppers, onions, vinegar, tomato paste (minimal), light soy sauce, garlic, ginger, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, NO batter (不裹粉炸) and NO sugar (不要糖) in the sauce. Ask for a vinegar and soy-based sauce with minimal tomato paste. Request pan-fried or grilled pork. Omit pineapple or request minimal if essential for flavor.
Watch out for
Excessive sugar in the traditional sauce; batter; pineapple; starch thickeners.
