Notes:
1. If you prefer vegetarian fried rice,just skip chicken and add any of your favorite veggies to the rice.(like carrots,sugar snap peas,corn,french beans and even some sliced shallots).

2. If you like spicy version add some ground peppers or red chilli flakes to cauliflower rice just before turning the heat off.
