Description

This savory pork dish offers a delightful balance of textures and tastes, perfect for a satisfying lunch or dinner. Imagine tender ground pork mingling with the crisp bite of radishes and the sweet brightness of yellow bell pepper. Aromatic scallions add a fresh, subtle oniony note that elevates the dish.

The base of the dish is made with cauliflower rice, which provides a light and fluffy texture. A tangy lime juice with a savory sauce, along with a drizzle of sesame oil brings an Asian flair, uniting all the components in a symphony of flavor. Beaten eggs are added to create a cohesive and rich texture.

This recipe is conveniently cooked in one pan, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate easy cooking and minimal cleanup. The entire dish comes together quickly and effortlessly, making it suitable for busy weeknights or relaxed weekend meals. The result is a hearty and flavorful dish.

While this recipe calls for ground pork, feel free to experiment with other ground meats to suit your preferences. Ground turkey or chicken can be excellent alternatives. If using turkey or chicken, consider opting for ground thigh meat, as it tends to be richer in flavor and fat, helping to keep the dish moist and succulent.

Remember to adjust cooking times as needed to ensure the meat is cooked through. Cauliflower rice is a versatile and easy-to-prepare alternative to traditional rice. Its mild flavor makes it a fantastic accompaniment to a wide array of dishes.

Many grocery stores now offer pre-made cauliflower rice, both fresh and frozen, for added convenience. Alternatively, you can easily make your own by grating cauliflower florets using a box grater or by pulsing them in a food processor until they resemble rice-sized grains. Whether you opt for store-bought or homemade, cauliflower rice is a simple way to add a nutritious and delicious element to your meal.

Instructions

    1.
    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over a medium/high heat. Add the ground pork. Cook the pork until browned all over.
    2.
    While the pork is browning, dice the bell pepper and scallions and thinly slice the radishes. Once the pork has browned, move it to one side in the skillet. Add the vegetables to the empty side. Stir fry for a minute. You can add a splash more oil if the pan is too dry.
    3.
    Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Add the tamari sauce, sesame oil and lime juice. Stir well to combine. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes more until the rice and vegetables are tender.
    4.
    Crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Make a well in the center of the rice and pork mixture. Pour the beaten egg into the center of the rice. Allow the egg to settle for a moment, then scramble into the rice and pork. Cook the egg through. Serve the dish hot with your preferred Keto toppings and sides.
