Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 1 tsp red chili flakes
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos for strict keto)
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 4 cups zucchini or cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil.
Mince the garlic and ginger, and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook until the pork is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the pork and stir to evenly distribute the spice.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour the mixture over the pork and stir to combine.
Lower the heat to medium and let the pork simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Chop the green onions and cilantro, and stir them into the pork right before serving.
For a complete keto meal, serve over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice if desired.
