Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
- Pull out a large frying pan, a small bowl, a grater & a sieve
Cook the rice
- Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked then drain
Prep time
- Finely grate the garlic and ginger. Trim and finely slice the cabbage and spring onion
- Coarsely grate the carrots (peel optional). Deseed and finely dice the chilli. Zest and quarter the lime
- In the small bowl, mix together the honey, tamari and 1 tbsp olive oil
Get sizzlin'
- Heat the large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chick'n pieces and cook for 2-3 mins, per side, until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside
- Reheat the pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cabbage and carrot and cook for another 6 mins, until the veg softens. Stir in the garlic, ginger and chilli (for those who'd like the heat) and cook for another 1 min
Bring everything together
- When the rice is ready, add to the veg pan with the tamari dressing, lime zest and three-quarters of the spring onion. Return the chick'n to the pan, toss to combine and cook for 2-3 mins
- Push the rice to one side of the pan. Crack the egg into the other side and break it up with a spoon
