Make

  1. Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil. Use a slotted spoon to remove chicken from marinade (discard any leftover marinade) and add chicken to heated oil. Saute until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from wok and set aside.

  2. Add second part of cooking oil and then white part of green onions. Saute until tender, ~1 minute. Add frozen vegetables and saute until defrosted and warmed through, 2 to 4 minutes.

  3. Crack eggs into wok and scramble. When eggs are done, add in cauliflower rice and reserved half of sauce. Toss everything together, and cook until cauliflower rice is warmed through. Add in green parts of green onions, chicken and a squeeze of lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper or more lime juice.

  4. Serve fried cauliflower rice with extra lime wedges and hot sauce on the side. Enjoy!
