Prepare the cauliflower rice by removing the florets from the cauliflower head and grating them using a box grater or processing in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl.
Finely chop the garlic, shallots, and bird’s eye chilies.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the chopped garlic, shallots, and bird’s eye chilies and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Push the aromatics to the side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Allow them to cook undisturbed until they begin to set, then scramble them gently.
Add the grated cauliflower to the skillet and mix well with the eggs and aromatics. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
Return the cooked chicken strips to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Squeeze the lime juice over the rice and stir well.
Slice the spring onions, cucumber, and tomato. Use them as a garnish when serving the fried rice.
Serve the low-carb Kampung fried rice hot, garnished with fresh cucumber and tomato slices for a refreshing contrast.
