Instructions
Microwave the cauliflower rice according to package directions.
In a wok or large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the canola oil over high heat. Add the chicken and stir fry until lightly browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Place the wok back on the heat, add the eggs, and scramble. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into small pieces (doesn’t have to be even or perfect).
Using paper towel or a clean dish towel, wipe out the wok then return it to the heat and add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil. Add the ginger, garlic and scallions, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cooked cauliflower rice, and stir fry for 1 minute. Add the thawed vegetables and the soy sauce, stir well to combine, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cooked chicken and the chopped eggs, mix well, and cook for another minute, until the soy sauce has been absorbed by the other ingredients. Remove from the heat, add the toasted sesame oil, give it a good stir, and serve immediately.*
*If the soy sauce hasn't absorbed into the cauliflower rice and the mix seems a little watery, let the fried rice sit for 5 minutes (in the wok, off the heat) before serving. OR, if your fried rice seems a little dry, feel free to add more soy sauce, 1 tablespoon at a time.
