Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Cutting board
  • Chef’s knife
  • Spiralizer
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork loin thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 4 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 medium zucchinis spiralized (for noodles)
  • 4 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger grated
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
  • 1 medium red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions sliced for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Begin by thinly slicing your pork loin, spiralizing the zucchini into noodles, grating the ginger, and slicing the red bell pepper and shiitake mushrooms.
  • Heat the avocado oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pork loin and cook until browned. Remove the pork and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add the grated ginger and minced garlic, sautéing for about a minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in the red pepper flakes, allowing them to release their heat for about 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and water, bring to a simmer. Add the coconut aminos, fish sauce, and rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Incorporate the sliced red bell pepper and shiitake mushrooms into the pot. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the browned pork back into the pot, and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Just before serving, add the zucchini noodles to the pot, letting them cook for 2-3 minutes until they are soft but still retain some bite.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure to distribute the pork, vegetables, and noodles evenly. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro if desired.

Notes

For a less spicy version, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes.
The zucchini noodles can be substituted with other keto-friendly noodles if preferred.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, as the zucchini noodles will become softer upon reheating.
