Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh cauliflower rice
  • 2 tablespoons untoasted sesame oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 cup diced cooked chicken
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 green onions, sliced, optional
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, optional

Method
 

  1. Measure 4 cups fresh cauliflower rice.
  2. Spread the cauliflower rice on a clean kitchen towel and let sit for 10 minutes to absorb moisture, then pat dry thoroughly.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of untoasted sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
  4. Add the cauliflower rice and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes without stirring constantly, allowing it to get slightly charred. Remove to a bowl.
  5. Add the remaining tablespoon untoasted sesame oil and the cooked chicken; stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the bowl with the cauliflower.
  6. Add the neutral oil and scramble the eggs until set; transfer to the bowl.
  7. Add 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots, ½ cup of diced onion, and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Return the cauliflower rice, protein, and eggs to the pan.
  9. Add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce (or coconut aminos), 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, ½ teaspoon of ginger powder, and toss everything together for 2-3 minutes. Heat the completed dish to 165°F.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or salt as needed.
  11. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
