Keto at a Hibachi Grill

Yes, it is one of the easier cuisines. The hibachi grill is a show and a keto dinner at once: protein and vegetables seared in butter in front of you. Ask for double vegetables instead of fried rice and keep the sweet sauces on the side.

Steak, shrimp, chicken, scallops or salmon from the grill with double vegetables, clear soup and salad with dressing on the side.

Fried rice, noodles, teriyaki, sweet sauces and tempura. Hidden carbs to watch for: teriyaki and sweet soy glazes brushed on at the end; sugar in ginger dressing and yum yum sauce (use a little); fried rice and noodles served by default; onion volcano (onions add a few carbs, no harm in a small portion).

Try: “Could I have extra vegetables instead of the fried rice, cooked with butter and no teriyaki?” Keep requests short and friendly; kitchens handle substitutions all the time.

A dry sake in small amounts, a whisky highball or a light beer.
