    Lemon and coconut pork was a favourite dish my mother made for us when I was a child.

    To convert the recipe to become lower carb, all I had to do was to omit the rice and throw extra vegetables into the wok.

    Lemon And Coconut Pork Stir Fry (no rice)

    We used to call our version of lemon and coconut pork dish - "pork and crunchy celery". The sauce was thickened with cornflour, and it was served with rice.

    Are Stir Fries Low-Carb Or Keto?

    If you are just starting out with low-carb cooking, you might wonder how do we eat stir-fries when they are generally served with rice? Easy peasy. Stir-fries are brilliant at being adapted to becoming low carb.

    Firstly, avoid using any sweet or sticky sauces, they will be loaded with sugars and cornflour. Secondly, avoid the rice completely and add extra vegetables such as leafy greens, spinach, bok chop, broccoli. Serve each portion in a individual serving bowl.

    So now you have an easy healthy family dinner with double the vegetables and possibly one third of the carbs.

    Amazing easy tips to make any stir fry low carb. The perfect quick, healthy, family meal. Click to Tweet

    Is There A Keto Rice Substitute?

    If you still feel you miss rice, you can try my cauliflower rice, but instead of adding coriander, add a squeeze of lemon juice or Chinese spices so it suits this dish.

    Watch my secret method using my food processor. No more mess to clean up. My quick and easy cauliflower rice technique.

      When you say x1 celery do you mean an entire head of celery or just x1 celery piece from the head?

      Absolutely loved this dish! I used chicken instead of pork, since my girlfriend is not a fan of pork, and it was still wonderful! I added some garlic chili paste for some added heat/flavor. I would definitely recommend it!
