🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is lower in calories and suitable for vegetarians; chicken thighs are more budget-friendly.

Cut chicken thighs into bite-size pieces and trim off excess fat.

Prepare white rice a day before and refrigerate it to ensure it's day-old rice.

In a pan over medium-high to high heat, add about 2 teaspoons of avocado oil and let it heat up until it looks wavy.

Add the chicken to the pan, season with salt, and cook for about 3-5 minutes until browned.

Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a bowl and set aside.

In the same pan, crack in the eggs, sprinkle with salt, and cook until just slightly wet, then transfer to the bowl with the chicken.

Add more avocado oil to the pan, then add shredded carrots and sliced green onions, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the carrots are slightly limp but still firm.

Lower the heat and add minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute to avoid burning.

Push the vegetables to the side, add more oil and butter, and increase the heat to high.

Add the white rice and cauliflower rice to the pan, stirring to combine and create a sizzle sound.

Pour in coconut aminos and sesame oil, mixing everything together.

Return the chicken and eggs to the pan, add frozen peas, and mix well, tasting for seasoning adjustments with salt or more coconut aminos as needed.
