Instructions
- To cook the chicken, add 1 tbsp oil to a hot nonstick or cast iron skillet. Add the garlic pepper, salt and pepper. Pan fry the chicken over medium heat until completely cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Add another tbsp of oil to the same hot skillet that chicken was cooked in. Cook the onion until it softens. Add the cauli rice, peas and carrots. Cook on medium high heat covered for 7-10 minutes. Stirring every couple minutes. You want the veggies just hot. Do not overcook or they will become mushy.
- Push all the veggies to the outside of the pan. Leaving an open space to add in the egg. Scramble the egg in the middle leaving the veggies on the outside. Pour the soy sauce over the veggies. Once the egg is cooked, mix in with the rest of the veggies. Place cauli fried rice at the bottom of a serving platter and top with the cooked chicken.
- To cook the orange sauce, add 1 tsp of oil to the pan. Add chilis, garlic and ginger to oil. Cook 1 minute. Add in orange juice, brown sugar, honey, vinegar, soy sauce to pan stirring continuously. In another small cup mix cold water and cornstarch until completely combined. Add in cornstarch very slowly, stirring between drizzles until completely combined. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Pour over the chicken.
