Vịt Om Gừng (Keto - Không Khoai Sọ/Măng)
Stewed Duck with Ginger (Keto - No Taro/Bamboo Shoots)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no taro (khoai sọ), no bamboo shoots (măng), and no other root vegetables (like carrots or potatoes). About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Vietnamese food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender duck pieces slowly stewed with fragrant ginger, fish sauce, and spices, resulting in a rich and aromatic broth. While traditionally often served with high-carb root vegetables or bamboo shoots, this keto version focuses on the flavorful duck and ginger.
Key ingredients
Duck meat (bone-in or boneless), fresh ginger, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, cooking oil, water/broth.
How to make it keto
