菜脯肉 (Chài Pú Ròu)
Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Radish (Keto Modified)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no sugar is added to the braising liquid. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Tender, succulent pork belly slowly braised until melt-in-your-mouth soft, combined with savory preserved radish (chye poh), garlic, and a soy sauce-based liquid. The preserved radish imparts a unique salty-umami depth, creating a truly comforting and flavorful dish, modified for keto without added sugars.
Key ingredients
Pork belly, preserved radish (chye poh), garlic, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce (low sugar), white pepper, cooking oil/lard.
How to make it keto
Ensure no sugar is added to the braising liquid. Request no starch for thickening. While preserved radish inherently has some natural sugars from its curing process, its quantity is generally small; focus on omitting additional sweeteners.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in soy sauces, especially dark soy sauce. Preserved radish can contain some sugar from its fermentation/curing process. Potential restaurant-added sugar for browning.
