Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 200 g Chicken breast
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 2 medium Shallots
- 1 medium Red chili
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 medium stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 1 medium Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
First, prepare the cauliflower by removing the leaves and cutting it into florets. Grate the cauliflower florets with a grater or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
Dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized cubes. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Thinly slice the garlic and shallots, and chop the red chili, then add them to the pan. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Push the garlic, shallots, and chili to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs lightly and mix with the other ingredients once they start to set.
Add the grated cauliflower to the pan, stirring to combine with the other ingredients. Cook for 5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
Return the chicken to the pan. Mix in the soy sauce and fish sauce. Stir everything well and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Slice the green onions and add them to the pan. Combine everything thoroughly and remove from heat.
Squeeze the juice of a lime over the Nasi Goreng and give it a final toss.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with additional slices of chili or green onion.
