Key ingredients
Fresh prawns, light beer (e.g., Tiger Beer), ginger slices, spring onions, light soy sauce (low sodium), sesame oil, white pepper, optional chilli padi.
How to make it keto
Request no sugar and no cornstarch thickeners in the cooking sauce. Ensure the beer used is light and the alcohol content (and thus most carbs) cooks off.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars or starch in the sauce. Some residual carbs from beer (though minimal after cooking).
