Fake Chinese/Indian Chicken with Cauliflower

So once I saw this recipe with apricot jam, pork, soy sauce and ginger. I thought that it would be really tasty, but wanted to make it healthier. I decreased the jam, switched to chicken and added cauliflower. It turned out very tasty. It kind of tastes like Chinese/Japanese/Indian/Korean dish, but I am not a pro on the cuisines. Whatever it is, this is really tasty and healthy too. My daughter loved it!

Fake Chinese/Indian Chicken with Cauliflower
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 chicken breast of 3 thighs, cut into bite size pieces
1 cauliflower head, separated into bite size florets
¼ cup water
¼ teaspoon curry powder
Pepper, but NO SALT
2 inches ginger, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced fine
¼ cup apricot jam
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ cup corn
Handful of cilantro, chopped fine

Heat the oil in a skillet until smoking. Add the chicken and brown it. Remove and set aside on a plate. Add the cauliflower, water and curry powder. Cover and steam until the cauliflower is tender. Add the ginger, garlic, jam and chicken. Dissolve the cornstarch in the soy sauce and add it to the pan. Add the corn and cook until the chicken reaches 180 F. Remove from heat and add cilantro. I added some chopped pistachios for some crunch.

This is good warm or cold.
