- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 small shallots
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small red chili

- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 medium cucumber

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork with 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of erythritol sweetener, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced shallots, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 2
Shape the pork mixture into small patties, about 5 cm in diameter.
Step 3
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. Brush the grill surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Grill the pork patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are fully cooked and have nice grill marks.
Step 5
While the patties are grilling, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing remaining fish sauce, remaining erythritol sweetener, chopped red chili, and the juice of the lime in a small bowl.
Step 6
Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Arrange them on a large serving platter.
Step 7
Slice the cucumber and radishes thinly and add them to the platter along with fresh mint and cilantro.
Step 8
Once the pork patties are cooked, place them on top of the prepared platter of vegetables and herbs.
Step 9
Serve the grilled pork patty platter with the dipping sauce on the side. Encourage diners to wrap the patties with lettuce and herbs before dipping into the sauce for a refreshing keto meal.
