Ingredients

• Pork loin - 250 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Coconut oil - 2 tablespoons
• Cauliflower rice - 200 grams

• Mirin (optional, or substitute with a keto-friendly sweetener) - 1 tablespoon
• Dashi stock (or water) - 100 ml

Steps

1. Start by preparing the pork loin: season with salt and pepper, then coat with almond flour evenly on both sides.
2. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat, and fry the pork loin for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let it rest.
3. In the same skillet, add dashi stock, soy sauce, and mirin. Stir and bring to a simmer.
4. Meanwhile, cook the cauliflower rice according to package instructions or sauté in a separate pan with a little coconut oil until tender.
5. In a bowl, whisk the egg and pour it into the simmering sauce, stirring gently to create fluffy scrambled eggs.
6. Slice the cooked pork loin into strips and place it in the skillet with the egg mixture, coating it with the sauce.
7. To serve, place a portion of cauliflower rice in each bowl, top with the pork and egg mixture, and garnish with sliced green onions.
