How to make it keto
Crucially, select only keto-friendly items (avoid starchy items like fish balls with flour, imitation crab meat, or processed items). Ask for clear soup only, no sweet brown sauce, and definitely no noodles or rice. Ensure the broth is not sweetened.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in the fish paste itself (if not freshly made), in the sweet dipping sauce (avoid), and the broth might be sweetened. Some items like fish cakes/balls may contain flour.
