  • ¼ cup Peas Frozen or Fresh
  • ¼ cup Celery chopped into thin ¼ inch

Seasonings

Protein

  • 6 oz Chicken Thigh ½ inch cubed
  • 1 whole Egg

Aromatics

  • 1 tsp Ginger, minced or ½ ground ginger

Toppings

Instructions

Cook chicken

  • Heat wok or frying pan to medium heat for about 2 minutes. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil. Add in chicken. Cook on Medium High Heat for about 5 minutes or until chicken is browned. Once chicken is cooked move them to another plate. Lower heat to low.

Time to Make Fried Rice

  • In the same wok or frying pan, add the ghee. Pour in the garlic and ginger and let it infuse with the oils (about 30 seconds or until garlic becomes crispy).
  • Increase heat to medium. Add in the Cauliflower Rice, celery, and peas. Make sure to stir back and forth for about 1 minute. If too dry, add a ¼ cup of water or chicken broth to keep it moist.

  • Turn heat to Medium-High. Bring back the chicken and stir fry for another minute.
  • Move cauliflower, peas, and celery to the side. Add oil if pot is too dry. Crack an egg. Wait about 30 seconds for the bottom of the egg to cook. Then puncture yolk and begin to stir the yolk with the egg whites until it solidifies.

Toppings

  • Move contents over to a plate. Top rice with scallions, and any other toppings you like. I like white pepper. For a spicy kick, add pepper flakes.
