Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork shoulder, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or low-carb soy sauce substitute)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 cups cauliflower rice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 3 large eggs
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (for garlic rice)
- 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine erythritol, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the tocino marinade.
Add the pork slices to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
When ready to cook, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated pork slices to the pan, cooking in batches if necessary, and cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and caramelized. Set aside and keep warm.
To make the garlic cauliflower rice, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Season with salt to taste and transfer to serving plates.
In a separate frying pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry to your preferred doneness (sunny side up is traditional).
Assemble the Keto Tocilog by plating the garlic cauliflower rice, tocino, and fried eggs together. Garnish with scallions if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb Filipino breakfast!
