Keto Jjajangbap is a low-carb twist on the traditional Korean dish, featuring a rich black bean sauce made with ground pork and served over a bed of cauliflower rice. This flavorful brunch option is perfect for those following a ketogenic diet while still craving authentic Korean flavors.

Ingredients

• Ground pork - 200 grams
• Cauliflower - 400 grams
• Keto-friendly black bean sauce - 4 tablespoons
• Soy sauce (or coconut aminos) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Begin by cutting the cauliflower into florets and steaming or boiling it until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and let it cool slightly, then pulse in a food processor to achieve a rice-like texture.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the keto-friendly black bean sauce, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), and sesame oil. Mix well and let simmer for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.
5. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
6. In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of cauliflower rice and top with the pork mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions.
