Ingredients

  • ¾ pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
  • 6 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 5 scallions, chopped, light and dark green parts separated
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 pounds cauliflower rice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 ½ cups frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup finely diced fresh pineapple
  • ¼ cup chopped peanuts (Optional)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Directions

Step 1
Stir chicken, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and cornstarch together in a large bowl.

Step 2
Heat a wok or large saucepan over high heat. Swirl in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Spread chicken mixture in a single layer over the surface of the wok; cook for 1 minute. Flip and toss chicken. Spread out again; cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate.

Step 3
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the wok over medium heat. Add light green part of the scallions, garlic, and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant and softened, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 4
Stir 4 tablespoons soy sauce, cauliflower rice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into the wok. Cook until cauliflower starts to crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir peas and carrots into the wok. Cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Step 5
Make a well in the center of the wok; pour in beaten eggs. Stir eggs with a spatula until scrambled, about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil, dark green parts of the scallions, pineapple, peanuts, and rice vinegar.

Cook’s Notes:

Chicken can be marinated for 1 to 6 hours if desired.
