Mom’s Vietnamese Style Curry Chicken (Ca Ri Ga)

This is one of my favorite dishes my mom makes and hits the spot every time. It’s great with toasted low carb bread or served over cauli rice or keto-friendly noodles. You could honestly serve this to carbies because the biggest swap is monkfruit sweetener for sugar.

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.

Spicy Teriyaki Salmon with Crispy Shallots and Scallion Oil

This salmon dish is so incredibly easy to make in the air fryer or oven. It’s sweet, salty, savory, and uses basic pantry staples that are super easy to find at most Asian grocery stories.

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.

Double Chocolate Chip Pudding Brownies

These keto friendly brownies are so good, you’ll be feeling bad about not doubling the recipe. The key to ON-POINT keto brownies regardless of the ingredients, is to under bake them so they come out fudgey. I will give you a general time frame to bake them but you’ll have to watch the the first time since we have different ovens/toaster ovens.

  • Transfer into a square baking pan.
  • Sprinkle more sugar free chocolate chips over the top of the batter and bake at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes or until the middle of the batter is no longer jiggly. I used my toaster oven so it only took 8 minutes. Let it cool before enjoying. *Pro-tip: use vanilla pudding if you want blondies instead!

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.

  • Plug in your waffle maker – this recipe is for a mini waffle maker but you can definitely make it in a regular waffle maker.
  • Mix the crushed pork rinds, shredded mozzarella, egg, and garlic powder.
  • Divide the dough mixture in half.
  • Spoon and spread the mixture into a waffle maker.
  • Cook for 4-5 minutes or until it is to your desired crisp level.
  • Place the paffle on a paper towel lined plate to soak up any excess grease.
  • Enjoy like you would with a bagel, english muffin, or toast.

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.
