Cut the stocks off the purple cauliflower and place it in a food processor.

Pulse the cauliflower in the food processor until it resembles rice texture.

Chop boneless skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and then chop again for smaller chunks.

Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; mix well.

Heat a hot wok and add a couple tablespoons of avocado oil until it's smoking hot.

Add the seasoned chicken to the wok and sauté until fully cooked with no pink in the center.

Move the cooked chicken to the side of the wok and crack 3 eggs into the empty side; scramble until fully cooked.

Season the scrambled eggs with salt and pepper, then mix in the seasoning.

Remove the chicken and eggs from the wok to keep warm on a plate.

Sauté chopped onion in the wok until tender and translucent.

Add minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of ginger to the onions and mix together until fragrant.

Add the cauliflower rice to the wok and adjust the temperature to keep it high.

Season the cauliflower with salt and black pepper to taste.

Add shredded carrots and green peas to the cauliflower and stir-fry together.

Pour in sesame oil and soy sauce, continuing to stir-fry until flavors meld.

Add the cooked chicken back into the mixture and stir well to combine.

Add bean sprouts for texture and a couple tablespoons of butter to tie everything together.

Stir-fry for a couple more minutes until everything is fully combined and heated through.

Plate the cauliflower fried rice into a bowl and garnish with green onion before serving.
