Ingredients (per person)
- 85 g brown rice
- 1 cm fresh ginger
- 100 g chicken thigh pieces
- 1 tsp cumin
- 5 ml fish sauce
- 1 tbsp daikon cress
- 1 garlic clove
- 150 g cauliflower

- 1 egg
- 175 ml vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 0.5 tbsp butter

How to Make It
- Bring the vegetable stock to a boil in a lidded pan. Add rice, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes. Drain if needed, then let steam uncovered.
- Meanwhile, mince or crush the garlic. Peel and finely chop the ginger. Break cauliflower into small florets and pulse into rice-like crumbs (use a blender if available); finely chop the stem too.
- Heat butter in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Stir-fry chicken, garlic, and ginger for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add carrot, cumin, and curry spices; stir-fry 3 minutes. Mix in cauliflower rice, cooked brown rice, fish sauce, and soy sauce; cook 5 minutes.
- In a separate pan, heat sunflower oil. Fry one egg per person until crispy-edged; season with salt and pepper.
- Plate the fried rice, snip daikon cress over top, and serve with the fried egg.
