One Pan Keto Sesame Pork and Green Beans has just 4 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!
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!
Ingredients:
- Pork chops
- Green Beans
- Olive oil
- Soy Sauce
- Brown Sugar Swerve
- Rice Vinegar
- Sesame Oil
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Sriracha Sauce
How do I make Keto Sesame Pork and Green Beans?
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.
This is great served all by itself or with sautéed cauliflower rice!
How should I store and reheat Sesame Pork and Green Beans?
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.
Is this Low Carb Pork recipe Good for Keto Meal Prep?
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!

Keto Sesame Pork and Green Beans
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 pounds Boneless Pork Chops
For the Sesame Sauce:
- 1/4 cup gluten free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar Swerve or Monkfruit
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon sriracha optional if you prefer spicy dishes
- 3 cups fresh green beans
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet to medium heat.
- Carefully slice the pork chops into thin slices. Add the pork to the skillet and Allow the meat to cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring, giving it a chance to brown. Stir and cook 3-4 additional minutes until pork is cooked though.
- Next, combine the sesame sauce ingredients and stir well. Add the fresh green beans to the skillet and pour the sauce over the beans and pork.
- Toss to coat; when everything is coated well, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover; cook for 5-7 more minutes until the green beans are tender.

Is the sesame oil the light version or the dark toasted version? Thank you for your response.
amayoza says
Hi Chris, I’ll update the recipe. I use the dark toasted version. I hope you enjoy! 🙂
Mrs. Wafflestacks says
There seems to be a few ingredients missing. There are some bullet points with nothing after them.
Annie says
Hi, there aren’t any ingredients missing. I just separated the sauce ingredients to make things easier. I reformatted it to avoid any confusion.
Jill Stumpf says
This was easy prep & cook! I used a Zucchini instead of the green beans. Thanks for sharing.
Michael Ewaldt says
Was a keeper for us.
I was short on sesame oil so added extra seeds.
Used tube ginger paste and monk fruit, symbol olek chili paste.
for my add-ons I used mushrooms and broccoli maybe cup of each on 6 cups green beans (double batch) still GB as the star.
I added home grown/crushed Thai chili to bring up the kick by the end the pan was being scraped clean!!!
Elizabeth says
It was pretty ok..I think my pork was overcooked according to these times . I added peanuts on.top, sirracha, and a base of cauliflower rice. I think the sauce you can change it up and add any vegetables and.any meat so I will try this again
