Keto Recipe: Braised Pork Rib

Originally from Northern China. I tweaked it a bit and used pork rib instead of belly pork because I don’t like the gummy feeling. It’s traditionally served with a steamed bread (Man Dou) or steamed rice. Yeah, a big no-no for Keto-er. So try this with Cauli-Rice or Keto-bread would be great.

Some of you might have never heard of Five-Spice powder before. It’s a mixture of common herbs and used primarily in Chinese and other Asia and Arabic dishes. Usually sold in packets or bottle like this.
