Ingredients

3 large eggs (whisked)
salt
1 cup green onions (sliced, 2 tablespoon dark greens reserved)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
½ tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
4 cups cauliflower rice
4-5 tablespoons soy sauce (If Whole30 or paleo, do not use. See note 1)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound chicken breast (shredded or chopped into very small pieces)
1 ½ - 2 cup mixed vegetables (Like peas, carrots, and snow peas. If Whole30 or paleo, see note 2)
½ tablespoon rice vinegar (See note 3)
2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Method

1
Heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook without stirring until fully cooked on one side, about 15-30 seconds. Season with salt and flip in large pieces with a spatula. Cook until just cooked through on the other side, about 15 seconds, then transfer to a cutting board. Let cool slightly then roughly chop into small pieces.
2
Return skillet to stove and pour in 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium heat. Add green onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the green onions have softened, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3
Season the chicken with plenty of salt, then add to skillet with onions, garlic, and ginger. Stir fry for 2 minutes or until chicken is mostly opaque. Add vegetables and cook, stirring regularly, until just becoming tender, about 2-4 minutes. Simmer until most of the liquid from cooking the vegetables evaporates, another minute or so.
4
Add remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the pan, then add the cauliflower rice and stir about 3-5 minutes or until rice begins to soften.
5
Stir in cooked egg, soy sauce or coconut aminos, red pepper flakes, and rice vinegar; stir well and simmer until most liquid has evaporated.
6
Spoon into serving bowls and garnish with remaining 2 tablespoons sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
