Ingredients

• 500 grams pork shoulder, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (or low-carb soy sauce substitute)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 cups cauliflower rice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
• 3 large eggs
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (for garlic rice)
• 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine erythritol, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the tocino marinade.

Step 2

Add the pork slices to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 3

When ready to cook, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated pork slices to the pan, cooking in batches if necessary, and cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and caramelized. Set aside and keep warm.

Step 4

To make the garlic cauliflower rice, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Season with salt to taste and transfer to serving plates.

Step 6

In a separate frying pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry to your preferred doneness (sunny side up is traditional).

Step 7

Assemble the Keto Tocilog by plating the garlic cauliflower rice, tocino, and fried eggs together. Garnish with scallions if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb Filipino breakfast!
