Instructions
With a food processor-Place chunks of cauliflower into the bowl of a food processor, and pulse. Do not over fill, you want even "rice" sized chunks not a puree.
With a box grater-Carefully grate the chunks of cauliflower to create your "rice". Watch your finger tips and finger nails!
Place cauliflower rice in a medium saucepan with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat until heated throughout, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove lid, fluff with a fork, and set aside.
Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat. Add the green onions and garlic. Stir and cook for one minute until fragrant.
Add beaten eggs and scramble until set.
Push eggs to the outside edge of the wok, and add 1 more Tablespoon of oil.
Add the rice and stir-fry to combine with the eggs.
Add the chicken and carrots, and toss to combine.
Add the coconut aminos, salt and black pepper and toss to combine.
Serve with garnished with chopped green onions and sprinkled with sesame oil.
Notes
*Place carrots in a microwave safe bowl. Add 1 Tablespoon of water and cook {covered with plastic wrap} in the microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
**To make non-paleo/Whole30 – substitute soy sauce/tamari for the coconut aminos, and reduce amount of salt that you use.
Unlike soy sauce, coconut aminos are not salty. In fact they are kind of sweet, so add as much salt as you feel you need based on your tastes. I do not like the taste of salt, so I use less than a teaspoon in the entire recipe…but that’s just me.
Substitue two cups of Steamed Rice for the cauliflower rice if you do not want Whole30/Paleo.
I still do not understand why peas are not allowed, but I left them out and doubled my normal amount of diced carrots.
