Ingredients

  • 4 cups Cauliflower rice
  • 1 can Coconut milk (full-fat)
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Dried anchovies
  • 1 large Cucumber
  • 2 tbsp Coconut flakes (unsweetened)
  • 2 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp Chili paste (sambal)

Instructions

  1. 1Place a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Add the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the skillet and let it heat until shimmering.
  2. 2Carefully crack the 4 large eggs into the hot coconut oil. Fry the eggs for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
  3. 3Add the 1/2 cup of dried anchovies to the same skillet. Fry for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the anchovies from the skillet and drain on a paper towel.
  4. 4In the same skillet, add the 4 cups of cauliflower rice, 1 can of coconut milk, and 2 tablespoons of coconut flakes. Cook over medium heat (350°F / 175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. It should smell fragrant.
  5. 5While the cauliflower rice is cooking, slice the 1 large cucumber into thin rounds.
  6. 6To serve, spoon the coconut cauliflower rice onto plates. Top each serving with a fried egg, a portion of the crispy anchovies, several slices of cucumber, and a dollop of the 2 tablespoons of chili paste (sambal).
