How to make it keto
Request 'không đường' (no sugar) in the stir-fry sauce. Limit the amount of onion and bell peppers, or request extra green leafy vegetables if available (e.g., Chinese broccoli, kai-lan, if not already on the forbidden list).
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in stir-fry sauces. Excessive use of high-carb vegetables like carrots or too much onion/bell pepper.
