Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork shoulder slices
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced (for garlic cauliflower rice)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for seasoning garlic rice)
Instructions
Slice the pork shoulder into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, for curing.
In a bowl, mix erythritol, soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for the flavors to fully develop.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the marinated pork in batches until caramelized and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add the cauliflower rice. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until tender, seasoning with a pinch of salt.
Fry the eggs sunny-side-up in a non-stick skillet to your desired level of doneness.
Assemble each serving by plating a portion of the garlic cauliflower rice, a serving of the sugar-free tocino, and a fried egg.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb tocino breakfast!
