Low Carb Pork Recipes

Ingredients:

3 lb boneless pork belly
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup milk
3 1/2 oz fresh ginger, peeled, and
1 thinly sliced
2 1/2 cup dashi or chicken stock
3/4 cup sake
3 tbsp splenda
4 tbsp dark soy sauce
4 green onions

Instructions:

Cut the pork into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or
wok and stir-fry the pork in batches until lightly browned. Transfer the
pork to a colander and pour boiling water over the pork to remove the oil.

Transfer the pork to a large pot. Add the milk, half of the sliced ginger
and enough water to comfortably cover the pork. Bring to a boil, reduce to
a simmer and cook, partially covered for 40 minutes.

Remove from the heat and still partially covered with a lid, let a very
thin stream of cold tap water pour into the pot to cool the pork. Let the
water trickle into the pork for 20 minutes. Drain the pork and remove the
ginger.

Return the pork to the pot and add the remaining ginger, chicken stock and
sake. Bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer, partially covered with a
lid. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add the Splenda and cook for 15 minutes
longer. Add the soy and cook for 5 minutes. Cut the green onions into
1-inch pieces, add to the pot and simmer for 2 minutes longer.

Comments: The final simmering process of sake, sweetener, then soy is very
unique to Japanese cooking, creating flavour-permeated meat. While the
recipe has a couple of steps, it can be completed while your doing other
things. It keeps well and is even better the next day.

The ginger has a high carb count of 12.95 EC's. I didn't include it in the
final total because it is not eaten. The count will be lower too, if you
don't eat the sauce.

Description:
"This recipe makes a very tender, sumptuous pork. I like to eat it
with very hot mustard and cooked chunks of daikon radish. It is great
cold with salad and a few cucumber slices."
