Keto Ginger Pork
We eat pork probably once every two weeks. And when we do, I like it to be full flavored and NOT dried out. This ginger pork recipe is not only tasty but tender and juicy.
Pork is one of those things that you can easily make marinades and spice rubs for, stick in the freezer and pull out when needed! I do this with both cooked and uncooked pork.
One of my biggest pet peeves is overcooking pork. I used to be so frightened of underdone meat that I’d cook it till a crisp, much to my husband’s dismay.
Alas, that is in the past!
So, you might be wondering…..
How Long Do You Cook Ginger Pork?
Great question! Honestly, I used to have to google this ALL the time until I finally committed it to memory!
If you are going to bake it in the oven, then you simply bake pork 20-25 minutes per pound at 350 degrees F.
Always check to make sure it is done before consuming it!
What Goes Good With Pork?
Some of my favorite side dishes to eat with ginger pork are this Bacon Brussels Sprouts Casserole as well as this Broccoli and Cheese Casserole.
I’m not sure why, but I think casserole side dishes accompany pork the best!
How to Store Leftover Ginger Pork?
The best way to store leftover pork is in an airtight glass container in the fridge. Try not to let it sit out too long before refrigerating the meat.
How Long Will Leftovers Last?
To be safe, I always suggest no longer than 3-4 days, and that is if the ginger pork is properly stored.
How to Make Keto Ginger Pork
The first step is to gather and prep all the ingredients! This will take you no time at all as this is a super quick and easy recipe!
I have 5 kids and a hubby, so quick meals are my thing!
Combine the ingredients for the sauce in a glass bowl or ziplock bag. Once the ingredients are fully combined, add the pork.
I like to marinate for at least 30 minutes. You can choose to marinate overnight or all day – totally up to you! Just make sure that you keep it chilled in the fridge for extended marinating times.
When you are ready to start cooking, you’ll want to bake it for 20-25 minutes per pound at 350 degrees or until done!
You can also grill this tasty pork and up the taste a bit!
