Instructions

Cook brown rice or white rice per package instructions or in a rice cooker. Prep the chicken and chop all veggies.

In a medium bowl, add soy sauce, agave, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil and cornstarch. Whisk until combined and set aside.

Preheat large skillet on medium-high heat and swirl 1 tbsp of oil to coat. Add cauliflower and cook for 5 -7 minutes, stirring just a few times to allow char develop. It should be cooked al dente and not mushy. Transfer to medium bowl and set aside.

Return skillet to the stove and swirl remaining 1 tbsp of oil. Add chicken, garlic and ginger; cook for 7 minutes, stirring just a few times to allow char develop.

Give teriyaki sauce a whisk, pour over chicken, stir and cook for 1 minute or until thickened. If it gets to thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of chicken broth to get it to the consistence of your liking.

Add previously cooked cauliflower, stir and let simmer for 1 more minute, continuing to stir to coat veggies and meat in sauce. Turn off heat.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cashews. Serve hot with brown or white rice.
