KETO BROWN SWEETENER:

• We have to utilize keto brown sweetener like Allulose, or Erythritol in this dish to mimic the sweetness of a classic dish without the carbs.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:

It is included to add balance between the tangy and sweet flavors in the sauce. It also helps to support digestion.

TOASTED SESAME OIL:

We add the toasted sesame oil to the dish to add the indulgent nutty aroma and provide the traditional Asian taste.

XANTHAN GUM:

We use xanthan gum in the dish, which helps to thicken the sauce without the carbs, and it also provides a sticky consistency.
