Chef’s Tips:

Chinese cabbage is often also called Chinese leaf. If you cannot source it, use the soft inner leaves of Savoy cabbage.

Keto Chinese Coleslaw with Pork Loin

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 pork loin steaks (we use Butcher Box meat)
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 TB olive oil, for cooking the pork
6.3 oz Chinese cabbage
4.2 oz mayonnaise
2 tsp tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
1 tsp sesame oil (plus more if needed)
¼ red onion, very thinly sliced
Handful of cilantro, finely chopped

Instructions

Season both sides of the pork loin steaks with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick pan and fry the pork over medium-high heat until golden on the outside and sufficiently cooked through. (If you are in doubt whether it has cooked through safely, slice off a piece – it should no longer be pink in the middle.) Set aside to rest for several minutes.
Very thinly slice or shred the cabbage and tip into a large bowl. Add the mayonnaise, tamari, and sesame oil and mix well to combine. Taste and adjust the slaw with more tamari (if you feel it needs more salt) or more sesame oil (if you love the flavor of sesame!).
Once the pork has rested, slice it into thinner strips and serve over the slaw. Garnish with the sliced red onion and chopped cilantro.
