Keto Vietnamese Pork and Cucumbers
Summertime reminds me of this dish because my garden is usually teeming with cucumbers. This dish is very easy to pull together for a weeknight meal but is so tasty. Vietnamese comfort food at it’s finest! Great served with cauliflower rice and a big spoonful of the “juice” that is created from the cooking process.
