Low Carb Asian Lime Fish Sauce

Low Carb Asian Lime Fish SauceLow Carb Asian Lime Fish SauceLow Carb Asian Lime Fish SauceLow Carb Asian Lime Fish Sauce.  Originally this sauce was used to dip thinly sliced Pork Loin Roast into. I now also use low carb Asian lime fish sauce as a salad dressing along with several other things so I am posting it as a stand alone recipe.  With a little olive oil I love it as a salad dressing and anything else you might think of to dip into it.  Cucumbers? Yep. Steak? Shrimp? Oh My. Try it.  Another little trick I have learned along the way is using Persian limes instead of the old standby ones everybody uses.  They seem a bit smaller to me but they actually have more juice in them.  I have reamed a lot of lemons and limes in my day and because these have a thinner rind there is more room for juice. Anyway I’m just sayin…

Keto Rocket Fuel

Keto Rocket FuelKeto Rocket FuelKeto Rocket Fuel.  This is not all my recipe and I even took the name because it seemed so apropos.  It is not so killer spicy hot that it’s only good for a few people, but rather designed to add heat to your liking.  Of course I changed some of the recipe to reflect low carb like the pear and the sugar, and yes I even omitted a couple of ingredients like Tabasco but the absolute essence of the recipe still remains intact. For comparison, here is the original recipe and even they took it from a restaurant.  The second picture is to show it accompanying my dinner and you can see how little it takes.

Ingredients
  1. 1 C Drained Sliced Jarred Pickled Jalapenos
  2. ¼ C Jalapeno Juice (From The Same Jar)
  3. 2 T Chopped Cilantro (More If Wanted)
  4. 1 T Allulose***
  5. 1 T Lime Juice
  6. 2 t Fish Sauce (Optional & I Used It)
  7. 2 t Crushed Garlic***
  8. 1 t Chili Garlic Paste

  11. ¼ t Crushed Oregano
  12. ¼ t Ginger Powder
  13. 1 Cup Finely Chopped Daikon Radish
  14. Water To Consistency Desired (Saved From Daikon Cooking)
Instructions
  1. Chop daikon radish and simmer in 1 C water until very soft.
  2. In bowl large enough to hold at least 3 cups (or a small processor) add rest of ingredients.
  3. Drain and rinse cooked daikon radish, add to rest of ingredients, process to a fine consistency adding water as necessary. I used my stick blender because for this particular job it was the best tool.

Notes
  1. As you can see this is basically a zero carb food so...eat it with abandon.
  2. Want it hotter? First be sure you use hot jalapeno peppers & juice and a sure fire way to get it hotter is to use (a little) more chili garlic paste.
  3. Since I was testing this for the first time I used raw jicama which stayed a little chunky and which is why I am suggesting simmered daikon radish.

Keto Mint Caper Sauce

Low Carb Mint Caper SauceLow Carb Mint Caper SauceKeto Mint Caper Sauce.  I’ve not made it a secret that I love, love, love lamb and that I am always looking for a new sauce to go with it.  We have a new grocery store here in Portland and I have been buying most of my meats there now because 1.) It is all Willamette Valley Grass Fed Organic and 2.) It is by far, less expensive than the New Seasons store I have been shopping in for the last 13 years.  Thus far EVERYTHING I have purchased from them has been fantastic and I feel fortunate in that they are nearly in my backyard. As we know Portland, OR is a pretty good size city. I bought ½ lb. of ground lamb which I love all by itself but I thought it might be fun to try a new sauce with it.  The keto mint caper sauce below is not anything unique but it is different. Here are several other lamb sauces you might try:  A more traditional Low Carb Mint Sauce and an absolutely wonderful Garlic Rosemary Aioli.  All three of these recipes are really good with lamb and all three recipes feature lamb in their pictures.  Did I say I LOVE lamb?

Keto Peruvian Green Sauce

Low Carb Peruvian Green SauceLow Carb Peruvian Green SauceKeto Peruvian Green Sauce.  This sauce is ridiculously easy and fast to make-probably not more that 5-10 minutes but oh boy, the flavors.  Real Keto Peruvian Green Sauce may not have any cheese in it and if you don’t want it, don’t put it in.  This is best served with fish or chicken but it also makes a fabulous salad dressing and for the dressing the Parmesan cheese is a must. As you look at the nutritionals it is basically a free keto food as in ZeroCarb.

  2. If you are making this as a salad dressing the Parmesan cheese is pretty essential.

Low Carb Umami Mayo

Leave a reply

Low Carb Umami MayoLow Carb Umami MayoLow Carb Umami MayoLow Carb Umami MayoLow Carb Umami Mayo.  Mine has just four ingredients and two of them are what I believe to be two of the most powerful umami flavors available without the use of MSG. Many of us may have heard the word umami and maybe not understand what exactly it means.  Well join the club.  I want you to know I do not, nor have I ever, had a problem with using MSG.  It occurs in nature including cheese, tomatoes, grapes, and mushrooms to name just a few so…you have probably eaten it in small amounts your whole life and most likely not known it.  It is in fruits, vegetables, fowl, meats and fish. There is enough crap on the internet to fill a book and wad a shotgun about MSG and in my humble opinion much of it is bunk junk.  As I have always understood it, MSG does nothing to “flavor” food, it affects your taste buds.  If you want to test it take ¼ C of water and put a pinch of MSG in it.  As we know, water doesn’t have much flavor to it but a small pinch of MSG will give it a taste.   Add more-more taste.  Wait several minutes and your taste buds with continue with the effects of the MSG long after you have stopped drinking flavorless water.  Often, the term “natural flavor” refers to ingredients containing MSG so when you see it in print on some crappy food packaging you may be looking at it referring to MSG.  I found this interesting article via Twitter on Food Facts the other day and it is well worth reading.

Here is a short list of products using the term “natural flavor” and I’m betting there would be lots less people claiming to be allergic to MSG if they realized how ubiquitous it is in packaged foods.

1.Doritos, 2. KFC Fried Chicken, 3. Pringles, 4. Hidden Valley Ranch, 5. Seaweed Salad, 6. Cheetos 7. Boars Head Cold Cuts, 8. Parmesan Cheese, 9. Gravy, 10. Protein Powders, 11. Pepperoni, 12. Popcorn, 13. Potato Chips.

The best thing about this low carb umami mayo is:  it’s zero carb and…high fat and…it is good with so many things.  It is fabulous as a dip with zero carb pork skins or low carb crudité veggies, and wonderful on a hamburger. You will need Umami Powder to make this four ingredient recipe and of course you can add any other herbs or spices you want to. The sky’s the limit baby.

  1. Don't think you can just pig out on this mayo because it you try you, may(o) get way too full. The fat content is very high and along with that comes a high satiety level. Oh, you may be able to eat more than ¼ cup of it but...you won't eat much more for at least several hours.
  2. Taste before adding any other herbs or spices and if you really think it needs more then go for the gusto. If you love the flavors as is, you can add ¼ t of both powders but I would let it sit in the fridge for several hours before adding more.

Low Carb Vietnamese Fish Dipping Sauce

Low Carb Vietnamese Fish Dipping SauceLow Carb Vietnamese Fish Dipping SauceLow Carb Vietnamese Fish Dipping SauceLow Carb Vietnamese Fish Dipping SauceLow Carb Vietnamese Fish Dipping Sauce.  Sometimes I like to make a sauce that is multi-functional and this sauce is one of those times.  I first used it as a salad dressing for Vietnamese Shrimp Salad and then realized it was also good to dip other foods into.  It is not thick so it will just give a nice coating on whatever you dip into it.  Don’t be surprised when the flavor knocks you off your feet because as with all things fish saucy, this does it too.  Because I first did it as a salad dressing with shrimp, shrimp is the first thing that came to my dippy mind and of course any kind of vegetable or other meats would work as well.  This is very, very easy to put together. Pictured are a plain salad and the salad as a dinner I had last night…with shrimp.  I haven’t done it yet but I’m thinking over a piece of good fish would be dandy too. Low carb Vietnamese fish dipping sauce had a terrific tasty punch.

Keto Green Peppercorn Sauce

Leave a reply

Keto Green Peppercorn SauceKeto Green Peppercorn SauceKeto Green Peppercorn SauceKeto Green Peppercorn SauceKeto Green Peppercorn Sauce.  Keto green peppercorn sauce is maybe one of the most eloquent steak or chicken sauces ever devised by man.  The pictures make it look like I was using capers but I can assure you brined peppercorns do not, in any way, taste like capers.  Capers are a little salty and of course quite lovely on their own and fabulous with fish of any kind and peppercorns are, if you just eat one, well…a bit peppery.  It’s in the cooking process that these little bits of goodness spring to life.  It would seem a crime to me to throw any of the  juice away so I have incorporated it into the sauce.  Upon opening a jar or can of peppercorns they give an odor of pine which is very nice in small amounts. I have used a filet but this can be used on any really good steak and as I said, on chicken and fish.  The sauce itself in quite easy, very fast and made while you rest the steaks.  As you can see, it goes nicely with pork belly, bacon, & chuck burgers too. I’m imagining a thick cut pork chop. As you can see this low carb green peppercorn sauce makes about any meat restaurant drool worthy.

Low Carb Hoisin Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Hoisin SauceLow Carb Hoisin SauceLow Carb Hoisin SauceLow Carb Hoisin SauceLow Carb Hoisin Sauce.  For more years than I almost care to admit I ate a LOT of Peking Duck.  It’s a very simple dish to make and I was seriously addicted to the whole combination of roast duck, hoisin sauce, & green onions all wrapped inside a Mandarin pancake.  If you have ever had Moo Shu Pork, which you probably have, it is also made with hoisin sauce.  I used to make it all from scratch, including the Mandarin pancakes and excepting the Koon Chun brand hoisin sauce, which I bought in HUGE cans.  The really nice thing about that sauce is that it didn’t need to be refrigerated…ever. Now, there is hoisin and there is real hoisin and Koon Chun hoisin is considered THE best and used in most restaurants. It has been so many years, even before my diabetes diagnosis, since I have eaten Peking duck that all I have is a vague memory of it.  Besides loving it I remember it as rather sweet, very smoother, dark and somewhat thick.  I’ve not made it a secret that I make and eat a lot of roast duck.  Not only do I love the duck, I also get about 2 cups of duck fat gold which I use to sauté things with and it is by far my favorite fat flavor. One other dish I serve this sauce with is Crispy Pork Belly and it does not take much. A little dab of low carb hoisin sauce will do ya just fine.

So, by making this sugar-free low carb hoisin sauce I am going to be able to have my beloved Peking Duck (minus the pancakes and who needs them anyway) for the first time in many, years. Whoopee. Now if I want a wrap of some kind I just make myself a batch of Zero Carb Flaxseed Meal Crêpes which I use to make my Moo Shu Pork Crepes. Given my memory, the sauce is not as dark as the Kung Chun in looks but for taste? NAILED IT.  Oh Yeah, it is danged near perfect. First I’m going to try it with just duck, green onions, and sauce and the next time maybe using butter lettuce as a wrap.  I got so excited about this I went back to the grocery store and got myself a head of butter lettuce so, it’s now in the picture.  I could go on and on about my love of duck but I’ll leave it alone for now.  Next thing up will be a recipe for Peking Duck and it is easy, easy.  I do, probably, have a top 10 favorite meals and Peking Duck is maybe number 2 or 3.  I think my favorite might still be Stuffed Shrimp.  Another wonderful dinner/appetizer you can make with this hoisin sauce as an ingredient is Chinese BBQ Pork Loin-Oh Lordy, it is so good.

If you are so inclined, there may be an easier product to use Fermented Black Bean Powder. I googled the term and this is all I could find.  If it is real, it would make hoisin sauce so much easier but since I ground my own fermented beans I have a nice stash now so I have not tried it. You should be able to buy salted fermented black beans in any Asian market. Since I ground my own fermented beans seen in that tiny plastic container seen in the 3rd picture (once) it should last me the rest of my life because you use so little (¼ t) of it at any given time. I keep it frozen until I need it again.

  3. 110 Calories, 5.3g Protein, 8.1g Fat, 4.3g Carbs, 1.4g Fiber, 2.9g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Confession; I ALWAYS make a double batch of this.
  2. My sauce is a little lighter in color because of the absence of molasses and it has tiny chunks of peanuts because though I grind my own peanut butter, it is not really that smooth. I have & use molasses in small quantities on occasion but I didn’t want any added carbs.
  3. Sauce is best made a day or so ahead of time as all the tastes marry with time. It will also last nearly forever in the fridge but once you've had it-you'll just want more of it.
  4. As you are making and tasting your sauce, and if it tastes salty to you, remember that it should be going with totally unsalted items which are then also spiced by the sauce. If it still seems too salty then use a lighter sodium tamari or soy sauce.
  5. This sauce is certainly not limited to only duck. It can of course be used with roast chicken, pork, and in stir fries, of any stripe.
  6. Hoisin will darken and tighten a little in the fridge so bring it to room temperature before using.

This sauce was first featured as Rack Of Lamb With Korean Ginger Sauce but it is so good I ate it the following night with a beef tenderloin and a little steamed Bok Choy and the next night with plain old sprouts as a salad.  Seems this stuff is so terrific I can’t stop eating it.  I’m betting Keto Korean Ginger BBQ Sauce will become staple in my house to put on lots more things…etc. etc. etc.  The rack of lamb was so good I just decided to make this a stand-alone recipe.  Hope you enjoy it.

Notes
  1. You can either serve sauce directly on meat or vegetables or in a small condiment dish to the side. A little goes a long way.
  2. The green onions and red peppers in the second picture are things I always have and they were so good with the lamb I repeated myself with the steak. They are certainly not called for every time you use the sauce.
  3. If you want this a bit spicier add a bit more red pepper flakes to taste.

Keto Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce

Leave a reply

Low Carb Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut SauceLow Carb Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut SauceKeto Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce.  I live down and around the corner from a terrific Thai restaurant which allows me to bring my own peanut sauce to eat their salad with because I am diabetic.  They don’t speak much English and they think I’m crazy but never-the-less accommodate me which allows me to go out to dinner for Thai food with no guilt once in a while.

Thais eat what I consider a very sweet life through their food and yet their Type II diabetes rate is 1⁄3  that of the United States.  This is more than likely due to the mostly living in rural areas with the absence of American Junk Food.  Even in the larger cities many people go to the outdoor markets to get their food for the day and yes, they do sugar their foods but in relatively smaller quantities and make no mistake, their rates of obesity are rising as more people pack into the larger cities and eat more of our SAD diet.  They are now ranked third highest in the Asian-Pacific countries with of course Bangkok leading the way.

I have no idea what happened to this recipe post but it disappeared and is apparently gone forever. I am re-posting it but it is listed as a link in any number of places and the only true place is here and in the Sauces Category until I can find and change them all which may be a month of Sundays at the rate I go.  So sorry for that and my apologies because I have zero idea how it happened.  I still have my pictures which is at least good and I have zero idea what I had written so this is a complete do-over. What follows is only my take on things but we don’t need to worry about any sugars in this as it is sugar-free.  This really is a keto Sweet Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce and I also have it listed as such with the Thai Salad With Spicy Sweet Peanut Sauce and Thai Chicken. Hopefully we know that peanut sauce is wonderful with a chicken or beef satay and can also be used to dip vegetables into.

  9. 5 Drops Splenda Liquid
  10. Additional Water Only If Needed
Instructions
  1. Bring peanut butter to room temperature, add hot water & mix thoroughly. Add rest of ingredients and again mix well.

  4. 70 Calories, 3.3g Protein, 6.1g Fat, 1.7g Carbs, 0.4g Fiber, 1.3g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Can be refrigerated until ready for use and after that-almost indefinitely-but I guarantee it will not last long.
  2. I always make a double batch of this and keep it in the fridge because it so easy to serve with plain ole mung bean sprouts or use as a great salad dressing.

Low Carb Bordelaise Sauce

Low Carb Bordelaise SauceLow Carb Bordelaise SauceLow Carb Bordelaise SauceLow Carb Bordelaise SauceLow Carb Bordelaise Sauce. You’re going to look at the ingredients in this recipe and think to yourself, Deborah has seriously flipped her lid on this one.  Heavy cream & white wine DO NOT a dark gravy make, because those in the know, know that a Bordelaise is made with a red wine and beef stock.  But um, as you can see this is not a truism set in stone.  Look at the picture carefully because that gravy is as dark as anything you could want.  The secret is…the paprika.  Now you say, will that would make it red but nope it doesn’t, it makes it brown.  One can only hope the pictures say it all.  A small filet mignon which is the steak under the sauce is normally used but any good quality steak cut will serve you well.  If you think this sounds good you might try it on a Chicken Fried Steak because yes, it is that good.

Notes
  1. Steak not included in nutritionals, it's just the sauce.
  2. I originally used Shiitake mushrooms but they are so high in carbs I have changed the recipe to reflect using button mushrooms. If you want to use the Shiitakes then please do so and I have given the nutritionals for both.
  3. If you thicken your sauce a bit too much just add a little more water.
