Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork tenderloin
- 4 pieces Keto baguette
- 60 ml Coconut aminos
- 30 ml Fish sauce
- 30 ml Lime juice
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 1 medium Carrot, shredded
- 4 small Radish, thinly sliced
- 0.5 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch Fresh cilantro
- 1 large Jalapeño, optional, sliced
- 120 grams Mayonnaise
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, erythritol, and avocado oil. Add the pork slices and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables: shred the carrot, slice the radish, and slice the cucumber. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork strips, discarding the marinade. Cook the pork for about 5-7 minutes, until cooked through and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat.
Cut the keto baguettes in half lengthwise. Spread mayonnaise on one half of each baguette.
Add the cooked pork strips onto the mayonnaise side of the baguette, then top with shredded carrot, sliced radish, sliced cucumber, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices if using.
Close the baguette, slice in half, and serve immediately.
