<article> <section> <p align="justify">Sure, fried rice is already a dish full of strong flavors, but who denies the Sriracha gods when the perfect use comes around? Sriracha’s delicious heat and lack of vinegary aftertaste make it a perfect addition to this 25-minute quick dish to deliver some extra oomph. </p> <h2>Open Sesame!</h2> <p align="justify">Although tiny, sesame seeds pack some major benefits. They are loaded with copper, zinc, magnesium, iron, and calcium. Copper, in particular, is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and helps reduce arthritis pain, swelling of joints and strengthens the bones. Sesame oil aids in reducing blood pressure, helping anemia with its large iron content and contains an amino acid known as tyrosine. Tyrosine is directly connected to serotonin activity helping fight stress and depression. </p> <h2>A Healthy Alternative</h2> <p align="justify">What is coconut aminos? There are only two ingredients to create coconut aminos: coconut tree sap and sea salt. Not only is coconut aminos a great substitute for soy sauce, but it also is a powerful little ingredient in its own... Packed into this unassuming condiment are the nearly endless benefits of coconut, containing antioxidants that protect the heart, regulate blood pressure levels and strengthen the immune system. </p> </section> <hr class="divider-15 divider-thick mx-auto"> <section class="recipe"> <h2 itemprop="name" align="center">Sriracha Cauliflower Fried Rice</h2> <div class="prep"> <span> <meta itemprop="prepTime" content="PT10M">Prep Time: 10 minutes</span> <span> <meta itemprop="cookTime" content="PT15M">Cooking Time: 15 minutes</span> <span> <meta itemprop="recipeYield">Serves: 4</span> </div> <h3>Ingredients:</h3> <ul class="ingredients no-bullet"> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">2 tablespoons avocado oil</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 pound chicken breast</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">6 cups of cauliflower rice</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 red bell pepper</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 cup cut (1-inch long) green beans</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">2-3 tablespoons coconut aminos</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 tablespoon sesame oil</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">2 teaspoons sriracha sauce</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 green scallion</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">Salt and pepper to taste</li> </ul> <hr class="divider-50 divider-medium"> <h3>Instructions:</h3> <ol itemprop="recipeInstructions"> <li><p align="justify">Slice chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
