Kumara or sweet potato is a staple. To make this keto-friendly, use thin slices of kumara and roast them in a generous amount of coconut oil, seasoning with sea salt.

Papua new guinea

• Mumu

Traditional papua new guinean feast cooked in an earth oven. While the original includes a variety of foods, focus on the meats and leafy green vegetables for a keto version.

• Sago

A staple food sourced from the sago palm. While it's not strictly keto due to its carbohydrate content, it can be consumed in moderation, especially if it's the primary source of carbs for the day.

pacific islands

Originating from Hawaii, these are raw fish salads. For a keto version, focus on fatty fish like tuna or salmon, add avocado, seaweed, cucumber, and dress with sesame oil and soy sauce. Omit any rice or sweet dressings.

• Luau pork

Slow-cooked pork shoulder seasoned with Hawaiian sea salt and cooked with liquid smoke. This dish is naturally keto-friendly.

• Keto loco moco (adapted)

A traditional Hawaiian dish consisting of white rice topped with a hamburger patty, a fried egg, and brown gravy. Replace rice with cauliflower rice for a keto-friendly version.
