Method

  1. Rinse the cauliflower1 and pat dry; chop into rice-sized pieces about 0.5–1 cm; cut the chicken2 into 1 cm cubes, the carrot4 into 0.5 cm cubes, and mince the garlic7; heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.

  2. Cook the chicken2 over medium heat until golden brown, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Add the carrot4 and garlic7 and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes until the carrot is slightly tender.

  4. Add the cauliflower1 and fry over medium heat for 5–6 minutes, stirring until the cauliflower is soft and fragrant.

  5. Make a well in the center of the pan, pour in the beaten egg and stir; cook 2–3 minutes over medium heat until the egg is set and evenly distributed.

  6. Pour in the soy sauce, add the onion, and cook 1–2 minutes over medium heat to reach the desired flavor and onion translucency; remove from heat and let stand 1–2 minutes. Serve warm, garnish with greens5 if desired.

Tips

Why it works
Cut chicken into 1 cm cubes so it cooks evenly and stays tender without drying out. Overlarge pieces stay pink inside.
Substitutions
Use 100g frozen peas instead of carrot for a sweeter taste, or swap sunflower oil for 8g butter if you prefer richer flavor.
Common mistakes
Overcooking the cauliflower rice turns it mushy and gray; check after 4 minutes. It should still hold shape but soften.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or within 2 days; reheat in a dry pan for 3–4 minutes until hot. Freeze without egg for up to 1 month.
Serve with
Pair with a side of steamed bok choy or a small bowl of white rice for a balanced meal.
