One Pan Keto Sesame Pork and Green Beans has just 4.5 net carbs per serving and is loaded with tangy Asian flavor!
During a chat on Instagram last week I asked what recipes people wanted to see low-carb versions of. One of the overwhelming responses was Asian food! Just like me, you guys are missing your friend rice, pad thai noodles and all of those other favorites.
No worries, I’ve got plenty of low carb Asian recipes to help curb those cravings. I’m currently obsessed with this Egg Roll in a Bowl and Keto Asian Pork Chops. These Keto Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps are perfect for meal prep, as are these Keto Asian Steak Rolls!
Low Carb Chinese Chicken Fried Rice Recipe
We are kicking things off with these Keto Sesame Pork and Green Beans. This recipe takes just one pan and is ready in about 30 minutes!
To make this dish we start by slicing our pork chops into nice slim pieces. You want to make sure you slice them fairly evenly and not too thick so they cook quickly.
Sauté the pork in a large skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until they have a nice gold color. Once the meat is cooked we pour in our homemade sesame sauce.

The sauce has sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar and pinch of red pepper. It is a rich mixture that is slightly sweet and compliments the pork perfectly!
We add the sauce to the skillet along with several handfuls of fresh green beans. Stir the mixture well so the sauce is completely coated, cover and reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to cook for 5 minutes.
These make great leftovers and would work well for meal planning! You can refrigerate this dish in an air-tight container up to five days.

When ready to eat, microwave in 30-minute intervals until warmed through. You could also pour into a skillet on medium and warm for 3-5 minutes until warm.
Yes! This is an ideal meal-prepping recipe because it’s easy to reheat and just gets better after a day or two in the fridge. You could even once with cauliflower rice and a second time in a lettuce wrap for some variety!
Allow the meat to cook 3-4 minutes without stirring to give the meat a chance to brown. Stir and cook 3-4 additional minutes until pork is cooked though.

Subscribe to our weekly newsletter and get all the tasty recipes straight to your inbox plus a FREE keto meal plan grocery list!A couple of months ago I started this series of some of my favorite low carb recipes from around the interwebs sorted by cuisine style. I got as far as the 15 Best Low Carb Mexican Recipes and 20 Best Low Carb Italian Recipes aaaaand then life got crazy and I never continued.
Well I’m happy to say that I’m finally getting around to posting this roundup of my favorite Low Carb Asian Recipes – some from here on IBIH, and a bunch of others that I found on Pinterest.
There were a lot of Thai and Indian recipes that I found too, so I decided to do a separate roundup in the future for those. This batch of low carb recipes labelled “Asian” falls mostly into the Chinese, Japanese, or Korean inspired category.
Keto Asian Recipes
Some of these recipes are Paleo, so if you’re low carb you can substitute your favorite carb free sweetener for the maple syrup, honey, or dates that they might call for to add sweetness.
1. First up is this gorgeous 5 Minute Spicy Asian Chicken Salad from Linda Wagner. It’s beautiful, healthy, AND easy to make – what’s not to love! This recipe calls for shredded carrots, but if you’re very low carb you could easily sub in radish matchsticks for the same crunch and a lot less carbs!
2. Next we have this delicious Cauliflower Rice Stir Fry by Willow Arlen over at Will Cook for Friends. Willow is super talented and hilarious (seriously, check our her selfies page, this chick has guts!), so even though she’s not usually a low carb blogger I am thrilled to be able to feature one of her recipes in this roundup. This recipe calls for carrots too, but you can omit it or sub in any of your favorite low carb veggies instead.

3. This Easy Low Carb Pork Lo Mein is a recent addition to the IBIH recipe catalog, and one of my best low carb Asian recipes yet I think! If you’ve been hesitant to try low (or zero) carb Shiratake noodles, then this recipe is for you! Delicious and sooooper fast to throw together, it’s even better than takeout – without the heaping side of guilt and shame! You can substitute shrimp, chicken, or beef for the pork if you prefer!
4. Been jonesing for some Sushi? Me too! Fortunately The Busy Broad has perfected a Low Carb Sushi method that you can customize a ton of different ways to recreate your favorite sushi in a low carb version! I can’t wait to try her spicy crab roll – YUMMY!
5. If you’re a fan of traditional Kung Pao Chicken, you’re going to love this healthier version by Gina over at SkinnyTaste! This genius recipe replaces traditional pasta or rice with zucchini noodles – and it looks amazing too! Her recipe calls for a little sugar and cornstarch – to make this even lower carb you can substitute your favorite low carb sweetener and 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum to thicken instead.

6. You knew I couldn’t let this roundup go on without including some delicious low carb meatball recipes right? I mean that’s my jam so it was bound to happen. I actually have a bunch of low carb Asian meatball recipes so it was tough to narrow them down for this roundup. In the end I had to include one of my most popular recipes here on IBIH, the General Tso’s Meatballs. If you haven’t tried them yet, you simply must add them to your rotation STAT! You won’t be sorry, pinky promise.
7. Another low carb Asian meatball recipe that I created is actually over on All Day I Dream About Food from a guest post I did over there last year. These low carb Kung Pao Meatballs are another one of my favorite meatballs recipes ever created. And that’s saying something because I’ve created a LOT of low carb meatball recipes!!! While you’re over there be sure to check out some of Carolyn’s amazing low carb dessert recipes to round out your meal!
8. Next up is this gorgeous Beef and Cabbage Noodles recipe from Vanessa over at Healthy Living How To! It’s dressed with an almond butter chili sauce, and if just reading that doesn’t make you hungry, you need to check your pulse! Vanessa even includes a video on how to make cabbage noodles that’s super helpful!

9. Chicken wings are always a winner and this low carb Bacon Wrapped Asian Chicken Wings recipe from IBIH is no exception. A little sweet, a little spicy, but most importantly wrapped in BACON and cooked until crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside!
10. These super cute Asian Lettuce Wraps filled with ground turkey from Kalyn’s Kitchen really look like they would hit the spot, and I love the addition of the crunchy peanuts for texture! Pretty sure I could down a whole bunch of these in no time at all!
11. These record cold temps we’re having are making me long for soup, and this spicy and hearty Paleo Beef Pho from Everyday Maven has the added bonus of being super fast to make! I’d love a hot spicy bowl of this low carb soup steaming in front of me right now!

12. I can personally testify to the awesomeness of this next low carb soup recipe because it’s one of mine (she types not at all modestly.) The meatballs in this Potsticker Meatball Asian Noodle Soup are great on their own, but swimming in this flavorful broth loaded with veggies, herbs and zero carb Shiratake noodles? Total bliss!
13. It was the gorgeous colors and photography that really drew me to these Paleo Veggie Nori Wraps with Sunflower Butter Dipping Sauce from Gourmande in the Kitchen. I could literally stare at these all day! I’m sure they taste just as amazing as they look too. This recipe calls for carrots but if you’re very low carb you could easily substitute celery root, riced cauliflower, or even radishes instead!
14. This fantastic Sesame Crusted Asian Chicken Tender recipe is one of Carolyn Ketchum’s and can be found over on Cara’s Cravings in a guest post she did. These look crunchy and totally craveable – betcha can’t eat just one!
Keto Sesame Chicken
15. There is something about crispy chunks of chicken that always draws people in – no matter what the culture! This is my low carb Orange Chicken recipe – a healthier version of the traditional Americanized Chinese takeout Orange Chicken. It’s not quite as saucy, but definitely loaded with flavor and beautiful texture. It’s a great way to introduce
