Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz cubed pork belly and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the edges are crispy and browned. Remove pork belly and set aside, leaving fat in the pan.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet with pork fat and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in riced cauliflower from 1 medium head (about 4 cups) and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently until cauliflower softens and begins to brown slightly.
  4. Step 4: Mix in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add sliced 3 green onions and the crispy pork belly. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.
  5. Step 5: Serve hot as a filling keto-friendly meal with a balance of crunchy pork and tender cauliflower rice.
