Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 1 tsp red chili flakes
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos for strict keto)
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 green onions
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
• 4 cups zucchini or cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil.

Step 2

Mince the garlic and ginger, and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook until the pork is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle the red chili flakes over the pork and stir to evenly distribute the spice.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour the mixture over the pork and stir to combine.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and let the pork simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Chop the green onions and cilantro, and stir them into the pork right before serving.

Step 8

For a complete keto meal, serve over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice if desired.
