Keto Sweet and Sour Pork | LCHF and Sugar Free
My Keto Sweet and Sour Pork recipe is the total bomb! I have a feeling this very simple sweet and sour recipe will very quickly become a firm favourite in many households.
I am working on a lot of new recipes at the moment I have to say that Asian ketogenic recipes are high on my list. Why? Because it is simply what I want to eat. haha! The best way to get recipes for the site is to listen to my inner foodie asking for different cuisines.
Prior to going keto Sweet and Sour Pork was a favourite whenever I got takeout Chinese. Sticky flavoursome and tender pork was always a winner in my opinion. So I definitely had to come up with an easy sweet and sour recipe that fits in with my low carb lifestyle.
HOW TO PREPARE SWEET AND SOUR PORK
The only part of this recipe that takes any real time is marinating the pork. Choose to marinate just for an hour or overnight the choice is yours. The longer you marinate the more flavoursome the pork.
After the pork has marinated you can simply toss each piece of pork in the coating and pop straight into hot oil and deep fry.
Work in batches so that you don’t over-crowd the pan. Try not to sample too much while frying. haha!
While the pork is draining on some paper towel whip up the very delicious and easy Sugar Free Sweet and Sour Sauce.
Toss the pork in the sauce and serve.
This is a very filling meal, so don’t be surprised if you can’t finish a serve. This has to be the best keto sweet and sour pork recipe ever. What’s better is the whole family can enjoy this sugar free sweet and sour pork. Honestly, I doubt they will notice a difference.
A totally delicious Chinese Sweet and Sour Pork recipe without pineapple or cornstarch and it is perfect. I can honestly say I never feel like I am missing out on the ketogenic diet. I simply just recreate any of my old favourites with ingredients that are lower in carbohydrates and do not contain sugar. #easy

Absolutely delicious! I did spice it up a little
bit using a birdseye and cayenne chilli, seeds and all in the sauce.
That’s what I like to hear. I love someone who is not afraid to spice things up and change a recipe to suit themselves. Glad you enjoyed it Kell
Absolutely mouthwatering! I’m only 3 weeks in on Keto and the amazing recipes Megan provides are out of this world! I don’t feel like I’m missing out… more those who aren’t eating this way are! Thank you Megan for yet another A+ recipe and also your constant support and assistance with any questions we have
Aaawww shucks! Thanks Aneke! Glad you enjoyed the Sweet and Sour and my other recipes. I hope every meal is a winner
This looks even better than the real deal!
Thanks Erika
Tasted as if I was in a Chinese restaurant. Definitely to be repeated and repeated and repeated
A firm fave of mine too. I am hanging out to make it again too!
I want to try this, put I’m wondering if I could omit the Whey Powder?
Hi Shannon, Whey powder makes the pork crispy on the outside. If you dont want it go for it.
‘This is the one!!!!!’ yelled out by my 15 year old son. What a beauty of a recipe. So delicious. Easy too.
That is sooooo awesome Liz. I am happy your son enjoyed too. Thanks for leaving feedback for our recipes too. x
I can’t find whey protein powder anywhere around me. (I live rural). What can I substitute it with?
You can use almond meal but it is not the same. Whey protein isolate is available in most supermarkets these days.
Made this tonight and it’s really nice.
