You can make the cauliflower rice by pulsing cauliflower florets in a food processor (or grating them on a box grater) until they’ve broken down into tiny granules.
Ingredients:
- Cauliflower - 1 medium, (stem removed)
- Oil - 3 tsp
- Eggs - 2 (lightly beaten)
- Garlic, minced - 3 cloves
- Fresh ginger, peeled and grated - 1 inch piece
- Chopped Carrot & Beans - 1 cup
- Soy sauce - 2 tbsp
- Cooked chicken breasts - 200g
- Hot sauce, for serving, optional
Method of preparation:
- Cut the cauliflower into chunks. Pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until coarse in texture, like rice.
- Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil. Add the eggs and quickly scramble. Transfer the eggs to a plate and set aside.
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add the beans and carrots and cauliflower. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- As the vegetables are cooking, add the soy sauce into the cauliflower mixture.
- Then add Cooked chicken pieces. Cook an additional minute or 2. Stir the cooked eggs back into the mixture.
