I live in the suburbs of DFW, which means getting good Sichuan food is not easy. Well, I mean, it’s easy, it’s just a 45 minute drive which is really a pity because I love Sichuan Food. So I have to resort to making it for myself. I made a super tasty Sichuan Pork Soup (minus noodles) and a Sichuan pepper cabbage, but Dan Dan Mein is something else. I love it but the noodles are an issue. In addition, it’s a multi-step recipe with making chili sauce, making the spiced ground pork, and then making the noodles. So I did some experimenting in the kitchen and came up with this delicious Dan Dan Style Chicken recipe!
Low Carb Dan Dan Style Chicken | Pressure Cooker Recipe
So of course I wanted a short cut. I basically made a sauce, cooked the chicken with it, and put it over shirataki noodles which are no-carb, and Roger and I scarfed it down. I made this in the Instant Pot but it can be made on a stove-top just as easily.

In under 30 minutes, have delicious Pressure Cooker Keto Bo-Ssäm Pork & Noodles that the whole family will enjoy!
Bo-Ssäm Pork
What is Bo-ssäm pork you ask me? Well, traditionally it’s a pork shoulder that has been marinated roasted slowly until it is melty and tender, eaten wrapped in leafy greens. One day I intend to make it the traditional way, but for now, I do in a quick way that I made up. If you want to make it the traditional way, there’s no better recipe than David Chang’s–he of Momofuku fame.
My ersatz version uses ground pork and the same seasonings, and hopes to approximate something close enough to it 🙂 Is it the same thing? Most definitely not. Is it a tasty, savory, low carb dish that comes together with no fuss? Why yes, yes it is.
This is why I call this Bo-ssäm style rather than just Bo-ssaäm Pork.
You will likely have almost everything the recipe calls for, but unless you do a lot of Korean cooking, you may not have the Gojuchang and maybe the Fermented bean paste , which I used instead of Doubanjiang because I couldn’t find mine.
If you buy these spices, I have a Korean Galbi recipe that uses gochujang, a lovely Szechuan Pork Soup that uses the doubanjiang, and a quick dan dan chicken recipe that uses the fermented bean paste.
Over the next few months I intend to master several more Korean and Sichuan recipes so hopefully, I can help you use those spices in other dishes.
Steps to make this Bo-Ssam Pork Recipe:
- Mix sauce ingredients
- Sauté ground pork until no longer pink
- Add bok choy and water
- Cook at high pressure 3 mins, QPR, and eat.
