2 Quick Korean Style Keto Pork Belly Soup


Wow. Today has been really freezing and lightly snowing all day.
I really didn't want to go for a walk but I didn't have a choice.
I couldn't resist with little 4 eyes with high expectation! If it is raining, I have a perfect excuse but the day like today, I will be stay with two hyperactive doggies.

So, I chose to spend a calm evening and have my recent obsessed menu for dinner, the pork belly soup.

It is an absolutely Korean style comport food and easy and simple to cook.
And it is a perfect menu on the day like today.


Both way will help to clear the leftover vegetable in your fridge.



Chilly Pork Belly Soup


2-3 serving
  • Any vegetables that ingredients suit for soup.

(I used a Chinese cabbage, savoy cabbage and bean sprout which are in my fridge.)
  • 80-100g of pork belly, 30g lard
  • 3 cloves of garlic, 1 spring onion
  • Salt & Pepper, 1 Tsp Korean Chili coarse powder.





  1. Melt lard in low medium heat
  2. Add pork belly and garlic and fry it in high heat.(I)
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and add chili powder (II)and stir well(III).
  4. Put the pan in high heat and add vegetable and gently stir(IV) Then add 1l of water.
  5. Boil high heat for 1 mins and season with salt.
  6. Lower the heat and simmer for about 5-6 mins then serve.







You can add bean sprout in 5 on last minutes and boil for 1 mins or serve separate.





It is not as much as spicy it looks because I use medium hot chili powder but If you prefer piping hot soup, add bird's eye chili. 






It is a recipe without chili powder.

    국에 들어가면 맛있는 야채들을 적당히 준비하구요 
    라드 없으시면 버터나 가능한 오일로 하세요 (올리브오일은 추천하지 않아요)
    삼겹살은 100-150그램 정도 하시고 2-3번정도 드실수있어요
    간은 각자 취향에 맞추시면 더 맛있게 드실거예요
    1. 약한불에서 라드를 녹이고 녹은 라드에 파를 볶는다
    2. 센불에 삼겹살과 소금을 약간 넣고 볶다가 야채도 넣고 볶아준다
    3. 물 1리터를 넣는다 물을 넣기 바로 전에 간장을 1스픈 넣는다.
    4. 5-6분 끓여주고 취향에 맞게 간을 하여 먹는다.





    Both recipes are delicious and I personally prefer the soup without chili powder.

    It is simple and a perfect for my LCHF diet. I can have a full of good animal fat in one meal and it is a delicious. Just try it!
