  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos or Tamari wheat-free soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil optional
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Prepare all ingredients so you're ready to focus on stir-frying everything quickly.
  • Heat a wok or a deep frying pan over high heat and melt one teaspoon of coconut oil. Add the prawns, seasoned with a little salt, and stir fry for one and a half minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Add the chicken and stir fry over medium-high heat for five minutes, stirring frequently. Then, remove to a plate with the prawns.
  • Add another teaspoon of coconut oil, keeping the heat on medium-high, and stir fry the onion for two minutes, until softened. Add the cauliflower, carrots, garlic, sambal, honey, Tamari and fish sauce and sesame oil. Stir through for about 30 seconds, then add back the cooked prawns and chicken. Cook all together for two more minutes, stirring frequently.
  • In the meantime, heat a little coconut oil in another frying pan and fry two eggs until the whites are firm but the yolks are still soft. Serve stir-fry topped with fried eggs and some fresh coriander.
