Prik Glua – Thai Salt Chili Sugar Dip

Ya’ll, this dip instantly enhances any fruit you decide to grace this magic dust on – especially ones that have a little sourness to them, like starfruit, kiwis, watermelon, and mangos. If you are living the low carb lifestyle, our favorite substitute for sugar is classic monkfruit sweetener. Allulose is also a great alternative.

Mix equal parts monkfruit sweetener, salt, and dried chili flakes. That’s it!

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.

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

Keto Beefaroni (Vietnamese Nui Xao)

This one is such a classic from my childhood and super easy to make. This recipe is courtesy of my mama Rose, who when I asked for the recipe, mind ninja’d me into feeling bad for not calling her 40 times a day, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. This is a beef macaroni stir fry that is pretty common in many asian households. It’s also one of those refrigerator clean out meals that’s always satisfying.

  • On a hot cast iron pan, griddle, or wok, cook the ribeye until desired doneness (5-10 mins). Garnish with more sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy with a side of Kimchi and pickled daikon, on top of cauli rice, or wrapped in butter lettuce.

These are a staple for us any time we go to Chinese restaurants or when we are trying to get through a bulk bag of green beans. The trick is to microwave your green beans for 5 minutes prior to cooking so your green beans still blister but minced garlic doesn’t burn.
