Last Sunday was a huge cooking day for me as it was meal prep Sunday for this week. I had a busy week at work and didn’t really have time to make breakfast, lunch or dinners every day. I made myself a bunch of Asian recipes, which is very typical for me since I live in Japan, and worked on a soy-free and sugar-free sauce for a Paleo Sweet and Sour sauce!
The sweet and sour sauces here usually use either ketchup, corn starch or soy sauce to make it, but I wanted to try and make one without those ingredients. For this recipe, I didn’t feel the need to coat the pork pieces in a batter like my Keto Fried Chicken as I thought a bit of sprinkled coconut flour would do the trick and didn’t want to add more protein grams, fat or calories by pork rinds, parmesan or almond flour. I made a few batches of the sauce, first with some ketchup, less vinegar and so on, but the tomato paste was the best option because it was less carbs than the ketchup I had on hand. You can get some reduced sugar ketchup back in North America, but not in Japan so I just stuck with tomato paste and it tasted the same anyway so great!
