Ingredients

- 1 tbsp sesame or coconut oil + extra as needed
- 3 eggs, whisked
- Large handful chopped spring onions
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 500g boneless & skinless chicken breasts, chopped
- 1 cup sliced carrots

- 2 tbsp wheat-free tamari
- 1 tbsp apple-cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Handful coriander leaves + extra to serve (optional)
- Sesame seeds, to serve

Method
- Pulse cauliflower florets in food processor until they resemble rice. Set aside.
- Heat large wok over medium heat, then fry bacon until brown and crispy. Set aside in bowl.
- Add splash of sesame oil to wok, then add eggs, tilting wok to spread evenly, and fry, without stirring, until cooked through. Remove from wok and roll up, then cut into slices.
- Add a little more oil to wok, increase heat to high, and stir-fry spring onions, ginger and garlic for 1 min. Add chicken and cook, stirring, to seal on all sides. Add carrot and stir-fry until just tender, then turn out into bowl with chicken.
- Add a little more oil to wok if needed, and add cauliflower rice. Stir-fry for 3–5 mins until tender, then return all cooked ingredients to wok, along with peas, anchovies, tamari, vinegar, lime juice and coriander, if using.
- Serve warm, topped with sesame seeds and extra coriander, with lime wedges on side.
