Yes, with a tweak: omit the customary serving of rice. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender slices of beef rapidly stir-fried with fragrant lemongrass, fiery chili, minced garlic, and thinly sliced onions, creating an intensely aromatic and spicy dish.
Key ingredients
Sliced beef, fresh lemongrass, red chili, garlic, onions, cooking oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Omit the customary serving of rice. Request explicitly that no sugar is added to the stir-fry sauce or marinade. Some restaurants may use a small amount of cornstarch for thickening; request it be omitted.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in stir-fry sauce, potential cornstarch thickener, soy sauce (some brands contain wheat/sugar), and of course, the rice.
