This flavor-packed roasted chicken uses a “wet” curry rub. When marinating, some of the liquid will evaporate and the spices will bind to the food. This recipe has curry powder, cumin, garlic powder, fresh ginger root and fresh garlic. There is a small amount of liquid in the recipe other than lemon juice, sesame oil and grape seed oil. The crispy chicken skin has a wonderful delicious, caramelized color and texture. By adding the marinade spice mixture under the chicken skin, juices form adding more flavor to the meat during roasting. The white breast meat is very tender and succulent.

Thai curry refers to dishes in the Thai cuisine that are made with various types of curry paste. Most Thai curry dishes are made with curry, coconut milk, meat, seafood, vegetables and herbs. Curries in Thailand mainly differ from the curries in Indian cuisine in their use of ingredients (herbs, aromatic leaves over a mix of spices).
Spaghetti squash is a great alternative to white rice or pasta (high in carbohydrates) on a KETO diet…especially when a dish has a flavorful gravy or sauce.

Chinese takeout restaurant favorites have a “westernized” menu of egg foo young, chow mein, beef and broccoli, egg drop soup and egg rolls…the typical cooked dishes are full of oil and sodium. I’ve prepared a vegetable egg foo young recipe “take – out” version at home that is low fat, high protein, low carb dinner option –cooked in 30 minutes. Use your imagination and load your stuffed omelettes with extra vegetables on a KETO DIET!
Egg foo young is derived from fu yung egg slices, a mainland Chinese recipe from Guangdong, literally meaning “Hibiscus egg”. This dish is prepared with beaten eggs and most often minced ham. Most traditional Asian restaurants use up leftovers a combination of minced vegetables, eggs and small pieces of meat, seafood or poultry cooked into an omelet-style pancake.
The Chinese omelette egg mixture usually has some type of protein (prawns, shrimp, lobster or pork) with traditional Asian vegetables: bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, cabbage, water chestnuts.
Most Chinese “Take Out” restaurants prepare a well-folded omelette with non-egg ingredients embedded in the egg mixture. It is covered with a sauce or gravy. American-Chinese restaurants in the Midwest serve a sandwich which is an egg foo young patty served with mayonnaise, dill pickles with lettuce, tomato between two slices of white bread

Do you cook pork chops that are dry and flavorless? This “SPICY LEMON PORK CHOP” recipe makes a juicy and tender pork chop full of flavor with little preparation time. Only 35 minutes and a great meal on a KETO DIET! COOKING TIPS FOR PORK …
Explore this quick to prepare recipe with a wonderful Asian- inspired BBQ flavor…slow roasted tender pork with a crusty flavorful fat top. KETO Cooked.
Pork shoulder, also referred to as pork butt, starts out as a mass of tough meat (tough connective tissue) wrapped in a thick fat skin. My recipe starts the pork in a high heat oven to crisp up the skin and sear the meat, then cooking slowly in a low oven for a leisurely eight-hour roast. I use a le creuset braising pan or large dutch oven. Slow cooking a pork shoulder gently breaks down the marbling resulting in mouth-watering flavorful tender meat.
Serve your pork with a pan sauce, using the juices and left over cooked marinade (drain the fat), add one cup of white wine and chicken stock. Add a chili oil and make a sweet and spicy or Chinese style BBQ flavor sauce.
