Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons erythritol sweetener
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 small shallots
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small red chili
- 1 head lettuce leaves
- 1 cup fresh mint
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 medium cucumber
- 5 small radishes
- 1 medium lime
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork with 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of erythritol sweetener, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced shallots, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Shape the pork mixture into small patties, about 5 cm in diameter.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. Brush the grill surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the pork patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are fully cooked and have nice grill marks.
While the patties are grilling, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing remaining fish sauce, remaining erythritol sweetener, chopped red chili, and the juice of the lime in a small bowl.
Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Arrange them on a large serving platter.
Slice the cucumber and radishes thinly and add them to the platter along with fresh mint and cilantro.
Once the pork patties are cooked, place them on top of the prepared platter of vegetables and herbs.
Serve the grilled pork patty platter with the dipping sauce on the side. Encourage diners to wrap the patties with lettuce and herbs before dipping into the sauce for a refreshing keto meal.
