Vietnamese Style Grilled Baby Back Ribs

This is my all-time favorite rib marinade for Vietnamese style ribs. Something to note about asian style ribs is they are not low and slow – they are rapid fire grilling so the meat will not be fall off the one – still delish though.

I used to eat these every weekend as a child while my parents and their friends would chill at the community park. Anyone else use those asian straw mats that were like 100 feet long??

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.

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.

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.
