Keto Fish with Spring Onion & Ginger

A Chinese Keto Fish Dish

We’re making a Keto fish dish today. This is a Chinese dish of stir fry fish with ginger and spring onion. I’ll be honest I don’t eat fish often. I just am not as enthused about it as I am about chicken or beef or pork or lamb. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy a good dish dish. I recently did a Keto fish moilee recipe. But today we’re going this Chinese style fish dish which is my next fav way to eat fish. I’m a sucker for Chinese food and this dish hits the spot. 

I hope you will give this dish a try and enjoy it as much as I do. 

Is Oyster Sauce Keto? 

Is oyster sauce Keto? This is what I expect the first question to be after watching the video. The answer is YES. At 2g net carbs per tablespoon (18g) it is a Keto friendly condiment. The same goes for Soy sauce. Most people are wary about this but even that is Keto friendly. Of course you have the option to use coconut aminos if you want to avoid the soy. I also expect questions about the MSG I used. Look, there is a lot of fear mongering about it and frankly it’s absolutely fine to consume. However if you don’t want to just skip it. But please don’t buy into the absolute nonsense being serve up about MSG. It’s absolutely fine to consume. With everything else in life exercise moderation and you’ll be fine. 

This recipe can also be made with chicken, prawns, pork, sliced beef etc. It’s a super versatile recipe that is very flexible. Serve with a side of cauliflower rice.
