Introduction
These Pork, Ginger and Green Onion Patties are juicy, savoury, and incredibly easy to prepare with just three simple ingredients. Made primarily from protein-rich ground pork with fresh ginger and green onions for flavour, they're an excellent ketovore recipe for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or weekly meal prep.
With no breadcrumbs, flour, or sugary sauces, these homemade pork patties are naturally low in carbohydrates and packed with high-quality protein. Fresh ginger brings gentle warmth while green onions add just enough freshness to complement the rich pork.
If you're looking for an easy ketovore meal, low-carb pork recipe, or a simple high-protein alternative to highly processed sausages and burgers, these three-ingredient pork patties are versatile enough to enjoy at any time of day.
Benefits of the Main Ingredients
Ground Pork
Pork is an excellent source of complete, high-quality protein containing all nine essential amino acids. It's particularly rich in thiamine (vitamin B1) and also provides vitamin B6, vitamin B12, selenium, zinc, phosphorus, and iron.
Using lean ground pork creates patties that are particularly protein-rich while still providing enough natural fat to deliver plenty of flavour.
Fresh Ginger
Fresh ginger gives the patties a warming, aromatic flavour without requiring sugary marinades or sauces. It contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including gingerols, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Because only a teaspoon is used throughout the entire recipe, ginger contributes very little carbohydrate per serving.
Green Onions
Green onions add freshness and a mild onion flavour while providing small amounts of vitamins C and K and antioxidant plant compounds.
Although green onions aren't part of a strict carnivore diet, the relatively small amount used makes these patties well suited to a more flexible ketovore approach, where animal foods form the foundation of the meal with small amounts of plants used for flavour.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
These Pork, Ginger and Green Onion Patties contain just three ingredients, making them an incredibly simple option for high-protein meal prep.
They're naturally free from breadcrumbs and flour and don't require sugary sauces or complicated seasonings. You can cook a batch ahead of time and keep them refrigerated for quick breakfasts, lunches, or dinners.
For a strict carnivore version, leave out the ginger and green onions and season the pork with salt instead. This transforms the recipe into simple pork patties containing only animal-based ingredients.
