Description
A vibrant, nutrient-packed alternative to classic takeout. This dish combines tender chicken breast, fresh vegetables, and a zesty ginger-garlic sauce. By ‘ricing’ cauliflower, you create a low-carb, grain-free base that perfectly absorbs nutty sesame oil and spicy sriracha for a satisfying one-pan wonder.
Ingredients
The Base & Protein
- 1 large head cauliflower, riced (approx. 4 cups)
- 1 lb boneless chicken breast, 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 large eggs
The Aromatics & Veggies
- 1 cup frozen sweet peas
- 3 carrots, diced + 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced + 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
The Sauce & Garnish
- 1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil (divided)
- 1–2 tsp sriracha sauce
- Garnish: Green onions, sesame seeds
Instructions
Rice: Pulse cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles small grains. Do not over-process.
Sear: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a wok. Sauté chicken for 4–5 mins until golden; remove and set aside.
Eggs: Scramble eggs in the pan for 1 min; remove and add to chicken plate.
Veggies: Add remaining oil. Stir-fry onions, then carrots, ginger, and garlic for 4–5 mins until tender-crisp.
Stir-Fry: Add cauliflower rice, peas, tamari, and sriracha. Cook for 2 mins.
Finish: Fold chicken and eggs back into the pan. Toss until heated through and garnish.
Notes
High Heat is Critical: A smoking hot skillet prevents cauliflower from steaming and becoming soggy.
Tamari vs. Soy Sauce: Tamari is a richer, gluten-free option with a less salty profile.
Fresh Ginger Hack: Use a spoon to peel ginger root easily while preserving the aromatic flesh.
