Cauliflower Chicken Fried "Rice"
Spicy Stir-Fried String Beans
Ingredients
- 1 tsp peanut oil plus 2 Tbsp, divided
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
- 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into ½-inch pieces
- ½ cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 cup snow peas, trimmed and halved
- 4 cups cauliflower rice (see Note)
- 3 Tbsp reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a large flat-bottomed carbon-steel wok or large heavy skillet over high heat. Add eggs and cook, without stirring, until fully cooked on one side, about 30 seconds.
- Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into ½-inch pieces.
- Add 1 Tbsp oil to the pan along with scallion whites, ginger and garlic; cook, stirring, until the scallions have softened, about 30 seconds. Add chicken and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add bell pepper and snow peas; cook, stirring, until just tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer everything to a large plate.
- Add the remaining 1 Tbsp oil to the pan; add cauliflower rice and stir until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Return the chicken mixture and eggs to the pan; add tamari (or soy sauce) and sesame oil (if using) and stir until well combined. Garnish with scallion greens.
