Keto Recipes > Keto Lunch Recipes

A delicious blend of Asian infused flavors come together to give you a delicious meal in under 30 minutes. From the tender, succulent pork to the tangy and spicy “Kimchi” that lays atop, everything works in unison to finish off your bite with a punch of umami.

ShiritakiPorkSecond

Definitely worth trying this one – and if you want to, you can even make the “Kimchi” previously and let it sit in the fridge overnight (or for a few days). The reason I put kimchi in quotes is because it’s my own take on it, rather than following a traditional recipe. I wanted to get the cabbage to soak up the flavors while I was cooking the pork, and it did just that!
