Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil, divided
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions, only white and light green portions
- 1 Tbsp peeled and minced fresh ginger
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 cups frozen peas and carrots blend
- 3 large eggs
- 3 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce, more or less to taste
- 1/3 cup chopped unsalted peanuts, optional
- 2 Tbsp chopped green onions, green portion
- Sriracha or thinly sliced red peppers
Directions
- Trim the cauliflower florets away from the head, leaving most of the stem behind. Working with half at a time, pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until the pieces are finely chopped, just a touch bigger than couscous; you should end up with 4 cups. Pile the cauliflower onto a large roll of several layers of paper towels, wrap it up, and squeeze out some of the extra moisture. Set it aside.
- Warm 1/2 Tbsp olive oil and 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil in a large, fairly deep 12-inch non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning it now and then, until it is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Move the chicken to a plate.
- Pour 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil into the empty skillet and keep it over medium-high heat. Stir in the green onions, ginger, and garlic, and cook for 20 seconds.
- Add the cauliflower “rice” and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Stir in the peas and carrots, and continue cooking until they are hot, about 3 minutes.
- Scoot the mixture out toward the sides of the pan. Add the remaining 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil to the center, then add the eggs and scramble them there until just set.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet. Drizzle the soy sauce over the pan, toss everything together, and cook for 1 minute more.
- Serve warm with green onions, peanuts, and Sriracha.
