Teochew Steamed Pomfret with Salted Plum
Yes, keto as served. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A classic Teochew preparation where a whole pomfret is steamed with preserved salted vegetables (kiam chye), sour salted plums (buah zui), ginger, and chilli padi. The combination creates a tangy, savory, and slightly spicy flavour profile that is naturally keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Whole pomfret, preserved salted vegetables (kiam chye), salted plums, ginger, chilli padi
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugar is added to the steaming sauce. Confirm no starchy garnishes like tofu or tomatoes in excess. The preserved vegetables and plums are salty/sour, so sugar is less likely to be added, but always confirm.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in light soy sauce or during steaming process, use of thickeners in sauce (rare for steamed fish).
