Ingredients

• 1 medium head cauliflower
• 2 large eggs
• 200 grams cooked chicken breast
• 100 grams green peas
• 1 small carrot
• 2 stalks green onion
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble the texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 2

Finely chop the carrot and slice the green onions. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

Step 3

Dice the cooked chicken breast into small cubes.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and scramble until fully cooked. Remove the eggs and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add the chopped carrot and green peas to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes, until the cauliflower begins to soften.

Step 8

Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet, along with the diced chicken. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to incorporate. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Lastly, stir in the sliced green onions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Serve immediately, and enjoy your low carb Cantonese fried rice!
