Chicken & Cauliflower Fried Rice
This Chicken & Cauliflower Fried Rice is a lighter take on a classic fried rice and a great way to add more veggies to your diet in a fun and flavourful way. Cauliflower rice can easily be made at home with a food processor, and many grocery stores now carry it pre-made in the produce or frozen section.

5. Add cauliflower rice to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes for help soften the cauliflower. Add chicken and peas to the pan, and stir through to combine.
6. As the cauliflower mixture cooked, combine soy sauce and sesame oil in a small dish and whisk together. Pour into the pan and stir to ensure it is well incorporated with the cauliflower rice.
7. Stir the scrambled eggs back into the mixture, and season to taste as needed.
8. Garnish with extra spring onions, sesame seeds and hot sauce to serve.
