Low Carb Char Siu
Low Carb Char Siu is specially formulated with fewer net carbs, utilizing similar ingredients to traditional char siu while keeping the carb count low by using less sauce relative to the meat. This recipe features tender boneless country-style pork ribs marinated in a sauce made from sweetener, five-spice powder, Szechuan peppercorns, white pepper, sesame seed oil, Shaoxing wine, kosher salt, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, molasses, minced garlic, and optional red food coloring. The pork is roasted under a broiler until charred, achieving a balance of sweet and savory flavors without excessive carbs. While some ingredients aren't typically considered low-carb, the overall carb content remains suitable for low-carb diets, and potentially for some keto diets.
