Notes
This is a combination of the ingredients for the very popular Sesame chicken with veggies and cashews. We love this in our house and it can be a super easy meal, especially if you have prepped the chicken and veggies the night before.
My family isn't as big a fan of the cauliflower rice as I am so I serve it with equal parts jasmine and cauliflower rice mixed together. When done this way the cauliflowers takes on flavor of the jasmine rice, and bonus, more veggies for everyone.
DETOX DIRECTIONS:
- Instead of hoisin sauce use 2Tbsp Coconut Aminos and 1-2 tsp Monk Fruit or Stevia
- Instead of the "rice combo" use only the cauliflower rice
