Keto Char Siu Pork

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork Shoulder
• 0.5 cup Soy Sauce (or Coconut Aminos)
• 0.25 cup Erythritol
• 1 tablespoon Chinese Five Spice Powder
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 2 drops Red Food Coloring (Optional)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 0.5 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos), 0.25 cup erythritol, 1 tablespoon Chinese five spice powder, 3 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon of ginger (grated), 2 drops of red food coloring (if using), and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir everything together until the erythritol is dissolved.
2. 2Cut the 2 pounds of pork shoulder into 1-inch thick strips.
3. 3Place the pork strips into the bowl with the marinade. Make sure each strip is coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
4. 4Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. 5Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the marinated pork strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6. 6Bake for 40-45 minutes. The pork is done when it is cooked through and the edges look slightly caramelized. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
7. 7Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice the Char Siu pork into bite-sized pieces and serve.
