Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts, cut into small bite sized pieces
  • 1 head of cauliflower, trimmed and cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca flour, divided (arrowroot flour works great too)
  • 4 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth or stock
  • 23 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce (or more)
