Neua Pad Prik Gaeng Kiew Wan (Keto, No Coconut Milk)
Keto Beef Stir-fried with Green Curry Paste
Yes, with a tweak: strictly no added sugar. About 7g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 Thai dishes.
What it is
Thinly sliced beef vigorously stir-fried with a rich and aromatic green curry paste, fragrant kaffir lime leaves, and green beans. This preparation omits the coconut milk, resulting in a drier, more intense, and distinctly non-curry stir-fry. Absolutely no added sugar is crucial.
Key ingredients
Beef (sliced, e.g., sirloin or flank), green curry paste (green chilies, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime zest, garlic, shallots, shrimp paste, salt), green beans, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, cooking oil.
How to make it keto
Strictly no added sugar. No coconut milk. Request extra green beans and ensure no other high-carb vegetables are added. Confirm curry paste doesn't contain hidden sugar (a common restaurant practice).
