4 servings
For the chicken
- 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced against the grain

- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 tsp arrowroot starch
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
For the stir-fry
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, divided
- 1 bunch scallions (about 6), white and light green parts cut into 1-inch pieces, dark green tops thinly sliced and reserved for garnish
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

- 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks

Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor in two batches until broken down into rice-sized pieces, about 8–10 pulses per batch. Do not over-process — the pieces should resemble coarse grains, not a paste.
