Our Favorite Keto Chinese Food

Chinese food is one of those guilty pleasures we used to order in bulk on drunken nights or holidays where cooking wasn’t an option. We all have a special place for it, but stay away now that we are low-carb/keto. Instead of shying away, we should embrace the low-carb options and cook at home! Some of our favorites include this sweet and sour pork, of course, but also our:

• Easy cashew chicken
• Low-carb kung pao chicken
• Cauliflower fried rice
  You don’t have to feel like you’re missing out, and cooking at home will get the entire family involved!

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine pork rinds, ginger, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together.
3. Cube pork into 1-inch cubes (even as possible makes for easier cooking), then dunk the pork in the egg and roll in the pork rind mixture. Place on a plate.
4. In a cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the pork in batches. About 2 minutes on each side (pork should not have any pink in the middle). Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to absorb some oil.
5. Make the sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over high heat. Add all sauce ingredients to the saucepan. Stir frequently, allowing it to boil and thicken and to not burn.
6. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over cooked pork. Coat pork thoroughly and serve with cauliflower rice and optional steamed broccoli. Optional, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green scallions.
