Caulirice Kerabu
“Sustainable Keto way of eating (woe) is inclusive of food culture and heritage, not by deprivation.”
I originated from Pahang, east coast of Malaysia where Nasi Ulam or Kerabu is eaten all day long for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Its a keto friendly recipe as the sambal is made of butter and coconut cream; and instead of using lean meat, we suggest to use fatty beef cut like ribeye and T-bone.
