As you can see this is the recipe for pork belly with mushrooms. Mushrooms are complementing pork belly strips and fantastically go together. Both ingredients are delicious. Pork belly, when prepared on this way is sticky and everything is caramelized with low carb sweetener. It's literally melting in your mouth.

Because I use low carb sweetener erythritol to caramelize this, you won't have a sugar overdose after eating this meal, and even if you are diabetic you can enjoy this dish, what is not the case with traditional recipes. This recipe is sugar/free, so it is definitely diabetic friendly meal for the whole family.

TIPS TO MAKE VIETNAMESE PORK BELLY - KETO PORK BELLY RECIPE

Keto pork belly strips

It's the best to use pork belly strips cut in small bite-sized pieces. Bring water with a pinch of salt to boil, put pieces of pork belly and cook for 10 to 15 minutes and after 15 minutes drain the meat and set it aside.

Melt 1 TBS of lard or coconut oil, add cooked pork belly on a hot oil, add pinch of salt and 1 TBS of erythritol. Stir everything and cook for 3-5 minutes. Cover if necessary to avoid blisters on your hands!

After 3-5 minutes, add 1 small onion cut in strips and mushrooms cut in thick slices. Add 3 TBS of fish sauce and 1 TBS of soy sauce or coconut aminos, ½ cup of water and some freshly ground pepper to taste and stir altogether.

Cook until everything is caramelized and glazed, and sauce completely reduced, and add spring onion at the end, and stir in to combine.
