Chicken breast mince, raw

500 g

Onion

1 large, finely chopped

Garlic

2 clove(s), crushed

Root Ginger

2 teaspoon(s), finely grated

Turmeric

1½ teaspoon(s)

Broccoli, raw

200 g, 1 pack of Tenderstem variety, halved

Reduced salt soy sauce

1 tablespoon(s)

Lime Juice, Fresh

1 tablespoon(s)

Lime

1 medium, cut into wedges to serve

Coriander, fresh

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 minutes, until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, mist a large nonstick wok or frying pan with cooking spray and set over a high heat. Stir-fry the chicken, in batches, until golden and just cooked through. Transfer to a bowl.
  3. Mist the wok with more cooking spray and reduce the heat to medium-high. Stir-fry the onion, garlic, ginger and turmeric for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the broccoli and 2 tbsp water to the wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the pak choi and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until just tender.
  4. Return the chicken to the wok with the cooked rice, lime juice and soy sauce. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, then scatter over the coriander and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

If you can’t find chicken mince, try turkey breast mince instead
