Ginger Pork and Green Onion Cakes

Here's a sweet and spicy recipe for an Asian ginger pork with a side of green onion cakes. The best part of all, they don't have many carbs at all. The green onion cakes have hardly any at all.

For the Sauce
- 1/4 Cup of sweetener(I used a mix of xylitol, splenda, and powdered stevia)
- 2 Tbsp garlic
- 1 Tbsp onion powder
- 2 Tsp ginger
- 1 Tsp crushed chilis
- 1/4 Tsp xanthan gum(this thickener can be left out)
- 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1/2 Cup Water


For the rest
- 1 to 2 Carrots peeled and sliced up
- 1 to 2 Peppers (Sweet, Anaheim, etc) sliced up
- 5 or so green onions
- Spicy Peppers (if you like that extra burn)\
- Pound or so of pork (or beef) shredded





Start off by prepping the veggies
Shred the meat
Get the ingredients for the sauce ready

Put all the dry ingredients for the sauce together

Grab the liquids
Add the liquids and mix

Get the pot/pan oiled and on high heat

Throw in the green onions or scallions

Add the pork and cook with 1/2 of the sauce

Add the rest of the veggies

Cook with the rest of the sauce until veggies are tender




For the green onion cakes you'll need:


- 5 or more green onions
- 3 Tbsp Margarine
- 3 Tbsp Almond flour
- 1/4 Cup Unflavoured whey protein
- 1/4 Tsp baking powder
- Dash or two of salt
- 1 Egg




Grab these dry ingredients

Grab some green onions and cut them up really small


Put the margarine in a bowl

Add the dry ingredients

Mix thoroughly

Add the egg and mix well

Mix in shredded green onions

Oil and heat a pan on medium and add some dough

Brown cakes on both sides

Serve and enjoy!
