Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cauliflower Rice
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut Milk
  • 3 Pandan Leaves
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 8 Chicken Drumsticks
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 Cucumber (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup Anchovies (dried)

Instructions

  1. 1In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine the 4 cups of Cauliflower Rice, 1/2 of the can (about 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp) of Coconut Milk, the 3 Pandan Leaves, and the 1/2 tsp Salt. Cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender and has absorbed the coconut milk. Remove and discard the pandan leaves.
  2. 2While the cauliflower rice cooks, place the 8 Chicken Drumsticks in a bowl. Add the 1 tsp Turmeric Powder, 1/2 tsp Chili Powder, 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat the drumsticks evenly. Place the coated drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
  3. 3In a 10-inch non-stick skillet, heat the 2 tbsp of Coconut Oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 350°F (175°C). Carefully crack the 4 Eggs into the skillet. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
  4. 4To serve, spoon the prepared coconut cauliflower rice onto plates. Arrange the baked 8 Chicken Drumsticks alongside the rice. Place the fried 4 Eggs on top or next to the chicken. Garnish with slices of the 1 Cucumber and a sprinkle of the 1/4 cup Anchovies (dried).
