Pork Dry Fry
Dry Fried Pork
Yes, with a tweak: verify no sugar is used in the preparation. About 14g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Kenyan food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Cubed pork, often with some fat, slow-cooked in its own rendered fat or with added oil until tender, then pan-fried with a rich base of onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and Kenyan spices until browned and the sauce is well-reduced.
Key ingredients
Pork, cooking oil, onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, green chilies (optional), fresh cilantro, salt, black pepper, Kenyan spices (e.g., garam masala, turmeric, curry powder).
How to make it keto
Verify no sugar is used in the preparation. Request minimal tomatoes and onions for a stricter keto approach. Confirm it is served without any carb sides (e.g., ugali, rice).
Watch out for
Excessive use of tomatoes and onions; potential for hidden sugar in commercial spice blends or restaurant cooking practices.
