Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 250 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Annatto powder
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 3 Hard-boiled eggs, sliced
- 0.5 cup Crushed pork rinds
- 0.25 cup Green onions, chopped
- 1 Lemon, sliced into wedges
Instructions
Using a spiralizer, cut the zucchinis into noodles. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add ground pork to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
In the same skillet, push pork to the side, add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 3-4 minutes. Mix with the pork.
Stir in fish sauce and annatto powder, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Add coconut flour into the skillet and stir until evenly coated. Gradually pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes.
In another skillet, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Transfer cooked noodles to a serving platter and pour the palabok sauce with meat and shrimp over the top.
Garnish with slices of hard-boiled egg, crushed pork rinds, and chopped green onions.
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an optional citrusy kick.
