CHICKEN CAULIFLOWER "FRIED RICE"



Chicken Cauliflower

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium head cauliflower, stem removed
3 teaspoons canola or vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 cup frozen mixed peas and carrots, thawed
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, plus more for serving, optional
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 cooked chicken breasts, diced (I used a rotisserie chicken)
Hot sauce, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Cut the cauliflower into chunks. Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until coarse in texture, like rice. This recipe uses about 4 cups of cauliflower rice. If you have any leftover, save it for another use.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the canola oil. Add the eggs and quickly scramble. Transfer the eggs to a plate and set aside. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add the peas and carrots, scallions and cauliflower. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • As the vegetables are cooking, whisk the soy sauce and sesame oil together in a small bowl. Stir the sauce and chicken into the cauliflower mixture. Cook an additional minute or 2. Stir the cooked eggs back into the mixture. Serve with hot sauce and additional soy sauce if desired.

3 eggs, beaten

Number Of Ingredients 16

¾ pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
6 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 scallions, chopped, light and dark green parts separated
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
2 pounds cauliflower rice
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 ½ cups frozen peas and carrots

½ cup finely diced fresh pineapple
¼ cup chopped peanuts
1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Steps:

  • Stir chicken, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and cornstarch together in a large bowl.
