Paffles (Pork Rind Waffles)

Hands down the best vessel for sandwiches when you’re trying to CUT THE CARBS but not the crunch. Paffles have a special place in our hearts because they have connected us to so many keto baes. We love seeing all of the variations in the wild. This is the OG recipe that came together when we were transitioning off the egg fast and into keto carnivore last year.

Some notes:

  1. We like using neutral tasting pork rind crumbs, like Aldi or Mac’s brand. Pork Panko is also a really great pre-made pork crumb product as well if you’re not trying to DIY everything.
  2. Our cheese of choice is organic valley brand mozzarella. It’s 1g total carb per serving or zero net carbs per serving.
  3. People have used other cheeses, such as cheddar, which we have been told helps it crisp up more – but the jury is still out on that.
  4. You do not have to include the garlic, but it helps mask any kind of pork essence.
  5. If you do not eat pork, try using fried chicken skins.
  6. If you make these and they are not crispy, thin out how you spread the dough onto the waffle maker and cook it longer.

Chilis in Fish Sauce

This is a super easy condiment that is part of the same family as pickled peppers. I like to eat these peppers on top of eggs, salads, in soups, with steamed veggies, or over meats. They are VERY flavorful and spicy so it will instantly pack a punch to anything bland or something that needs a little oomph.

Some notes:

  1. Eat these like you would picked peppers – the juice isn’t necessarily for consuming.
  2. The liquid part of this will be very spicy and will add more flavor to anything, but too much will ruin whatever you’re eating.
  3. The peppers are a great umami enhancement to any dish.
  4. Store these in an air tight container – the peppers should be good for up to a month.

This condiment is very common in Southeast Asian cuisine and can elevate any dish.

Low carb Hong Kong Bubble Waffle

Bubble waffles are one of the easiest ways jam a bunch of your favorite desserts into the palm of your hand. We love bubble waffles because they are so versatile in terms of what you can do with them. These are usually a hit at parties because people can stuff them with whatever toppings and fillings their hearts desire. We used Rebel Creamery ice cream and sprinkled crushed dried raspberries, strawberry syrup, pomegranate seeds, and fresh strawberries in ours, but the possibilities are truly endless.

If you don’t have a bubble waffle maker, just use this batter for regular waffles!

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.

Triple Chocolate Noatmeal

This is a remix to our OG Noatmeal recipe and it’s seriously so good that it feels wrong.

Some answers to FAQs:

  1. Can I omit coconut if I don’t like it? Yes!! You do you and make it your own.
  2. Can I use something other than choc zero? Of course, we just like how smoothly it melts.
  3. What if I don’t like almond flour? Don’t use it – and just add a few tablespoons of shredded coconut or flax in place of the almond flour.
  4. Can I make this without chocolate? Yes! Use the base to make whatever flavor oatmeal you used to love. Just omit the chocolate.
