    • 🙋 FAQs

    Whenever I can make a copycat recipe, I take the chance. Not only does it save me time and money, but when I make keto Chinese food at home, I know exactly what is in it.

    Unfortunately, ordering from restaurants is always a gamble. Did they use soy sauce that has gluten in it? Do they have any low-carb substitutions for noodles or rice? Was the chicken cooked with sugar?

    Since you never can tell, it is always best to make it at home!

    💛 Why you'll love it

    All of the keto Chinese food ideas on this list will give you enough recipes to fill up your menu for the entire month - without any repeats.

    There are chicken, eggs, pork, and even beef recipes on this list. They all taste just like you ate at a Chinese restaurant, but they are low-carb and keto-friendly.

    My personal favorite is the boneless pork ribs!

    🙋 FAQs

    Here are some questions people often ask about keto Chinese food recipes. If you don't see your question in this list, please leave it in the comments.

    How do you eat keto at Chinese restaurants?

    Ordering keto Chinese food is tricky. Hot and sour soup is always a safe choice. So is egg drop soup. You can also safely stick with steamed options that aren't covered in sauce.

    What Chinese takeout should I avoid on ketogenic diet?

    Always avoid ordering breading and sugary sauces - which eliminates so many choices. You should also stay away from white rice.

    Is hoisin sauce keto-friendly?

    The kind you buy in the store or in a restaurant will have too many carbs - I prefer to make my own. It's basically a combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, peanut butter, and keto-friendly sweetener.
