Notes

  1. Customize and use your favorite curry
  2. Make your own cauliflower rice from a head of cauliflower if you want to save money or have "firmer" riced cauliflower
  3. Use any and all veggies that you like- broccoli and snow peas would be great additions
  4. Make leftovers and use for lunch- this meal saves great
  5. Add additional Sriracha if you want more spice
  6. Use that leftover frozen chicken in your freezer for an even quicker meal
