Ingredients
Pork
- 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin
- 2 cups ground pork rinds
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- oil for frying (ghee/coconut oil/tallow)
Sweet and Sour Sauce
- 1/4 cup no sugar added ketchup
- 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 3/4 tsp onion powder
- 15 drops liquid stevia
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine pork rinds, ginger, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together.
- Cube pork into 1 inch cubes (even as possible makes for easier cooking), then dunk the pork in the egg and roll in the pork rind mixture. Place on a plate.
- In a cast iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the pork in batches. About 2 minutes on each side (pork should not have any pink in the middle). Transfer to paper towel lined plate to absorb some oil.
- Make the sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over high heat. Add all sauce ingredients to the saucepan. Stir frequently, allowing it to boil and thicken and to not burn.
- Pour the sweet and sour sauce over cooked pork. Coat pork thoroughly and serve with cauliflower rice and optional steamed broccoli. Optional, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green scallions.
