Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Cream Cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 tablespoon Erythritol
• 0.5 pound Pork Tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
• 2 stalks Green Onions
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in another.

Step 3

Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks, cream cheese, erythritol, and baking powder until smooth.

Step 5

Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites, being careful not to deflate them.

Step 6

Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming approximately 8 equal buns.

Step 7

Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

While the buns are baking, slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips.

Step 9

Finely chop the garlic and grate the ginger.

Step 10

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add sesame oil.

Step 11

Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 12

Add the pork strips, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, cooking until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 13

Chop the green onions and add them to the skillet right before removing from heat.

Step 14

Once the buns are ready, let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 15

To assemble, slice the buns in half horizontally. Fill each bun with the pork mixture and serve immediately.
