Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 500 grams ground pork
- 4 cloves garlic
- 60 ml coconut aminos
- 15 ml fish sauce
- 15 ml sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 2 whole red chili
- 4 stalks green onions
- 30 grams fresh cilantro
- 1 whole lime
Instructions
Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchini into noodles and set aside.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the red chili, green onions, and cilantro. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, approximately 1 minute.
Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, around 5-7 minutes.
Once the pork is browned, add coconut aminos, fish sauce, and ground white pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
In a separate pan over medium heat, lightly sauté the zucchini noodles for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften but still have a slight crunch.
To serve, divide the zucchini noodles among four bowls. Top each with the savory pork mixture.
Garnish with chopped red chili, green onions, and cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over each serving according to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your paleo-friendly Mee Pok!
