I’m so thrilled I came across your website this morning! I’ve been missing Asian food, especially Japanese, ever since I decided to go low carb/ Keto 4 months ago.
So glad you found us!! That’s exactly why we started this website! We never could find any keto/low carb Asian recipes, so we just decided to make our own recipes/website!! We still have plenty of recipes to get to, so make sure you check back often!!
Would it be okay to use 3 cups of heavy cream instead of 2 cups heavy cream + 1 cup half and half? I’d like to cut out carbs where I can, but I’m wondering if that substitution will ruin the texture. Excited to try this one out–especially now that I finally have ground matcha powder! Thank you! 🙂
Hi Midori! You can but it will definitely make the texture thicker, but probably won’t ruin it.
