Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut small bite sized pieces of boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1 pound, I had 6 thighs in my package). Mix them with one egg, a tablespoon of garlic powder, teaspoon of salt, and teaspoon of pepper. Add one tablespoon of any kind of milk.
  • Add about one cup of @isopure whey protein powder (UNFLAVORED, not natural, people) and mix it around to coat the chicken. I GRADUALLY added the protein powder as I mixed and the powder settled/got stuck to the bottom or side so this step is dependent on how it sticks to the chicken.you could likely use less for sure. There just needs to be some sprinkled on the chicken for there to be a crunch. It shouldn’t be a sludge like batter though. Like a wet dusting, if that makes sense.
  • Drop the “battered” chicken one piece at a time in hot oil (375 degree oil) – cook for at least 3 minutes but just take it out when it’s crispy enough for you.
  • While the chicken is cooking, heat a skillet on low and mix equal parts sugar free orange marmalade, soy sauce, & monkfruit sweetener. Then add ginger powder, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper to taste. Stir the sauce and then add a tablespoon of water because it thickens fast.
  • Take the chicken out and put it in a bowl. Pour the sauce over it and then place another bowl on top and shake it!! Serve with a side of steamed broccoli.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Take a paper towel and pat the salmon fillets dry. Let them sit at room temperature for at least 10-15 minutes.
  • Combine the teriyaki sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and chili garlic sauce. Coat the filets with the marinade but skip the salmon skin.
  • Heat a skillet on medium high heat for a few minutes. Add the oil and carefully place the salmon fillets skin side down on the skillet. Do not disturb the salmon and let it cook until the flesh is cooked from the skin side up at least 3/4 of the way. Flip the fillets and continue cooking them for 3-4 more minutes or until they are fully cooked through. This may end up being 4-5 minutes on one side and 3-4 minutes on the other side.
  • Remove the fillets from the pan and place them on a plate skin side down. Add scallion oil (with the scallions) and top with fried shallots.

Air Fried Eggs

Yeah, you read that right! I haven’t boiled an egg in monnnnths because air frying them is so much easier. This is based on my Cusinart airfryer so you’ll have to test one out in yours before doing a huge batch.

Here are some notes:

  • Use eggs out of the fridge.
  • You don’t need to preheat your air fryer. Just pop the eggs in there and proceed with the process.
  • Test out one egg before you do multiple. I have a cuisinart air fryer and it only takes 15 mins to get to my optimal preference (a little jammy).
  • I haven’t done more than 6 eggs at a time, but you can definitely try once you get the hang of using yours.
  • I would recommend an ice bath – many keto baes have had much better luck peeling and better results.
  • If the egg shell seems yellow or overly cooked, it’s not a big deal, the peeled egg will look normal.

Low Carb Vietnamese Caramelized Pork Belly

This recipe is super easy to make and uses asian pantry essentials. Make sure you open your windows while you cook this LOL. This is a really easy way to prepare pork belly – we like to buy the pre-cut strips from Costco. The pork is super tender, salty, sweet, and has this great umami element. Pair it with pickled greens, boiled eggs, boiled cabbage, cauli-rice, or any mild tasting vessel to balance out the flavors

Instructions

  • Heat a large pan with 2 tablespoons of oil on medium high heat. Once heated, add the 2 pounds of pork belly and garlic powder. Cook until the outside of the pork is no longer pink.
  • After about five minutes, add fish sauce and soy sauce and stir. Cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Add brown sugar replacement and stir thoroughly to coat all of the pork. Cook for another 5-6 minutes to let the sugar caramelize over the pork. Once the pork belly is a dark golden color, drain excess fat ( you can save this for future cooking or put it in a container, let it harden, then discard it).
  • Sprinkle black pepper to taste and adjust the sweetness based on your preference. Add chopped thai chilis as desired, I do this once the pork belly is caramelized.
