Savoy cabbage and soya bean rice

This cabbage and soya bean rice dish is ready in just 15 minutes, making it the ultimate midweek meal for two.

1. Put the soya beans in a small pan, cover with freshly boiled water, simmer for 3 mins, then drain and set aside.
2. Heat 1 tsp oil in a wok or large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the beaten egg, cook for 30 secs, then flip over and break up with a wooden spoon as it finishes cooking for the final 30 secs. Transfer to a plate.
3. Return the pan to the heat with the remaining oil. Add half the spring onions and the garlic, chillies and cabbage. Stir-fry for 2 mins, then add the rice and break up with a fork. Add the soya beans and 2 tbsp water, then stir-fry for 2-3 mins until hot.
4. Mix the soy sauce, honey, lime zest and half the lime juice together in a bowl and drizzle evenly into the pan. Return the egg to the pan and toss together. Finish with the remaining spring onions and a squeeze of lime juice.

Tip: To make this gluten-free, swap the soy sauce for tamari. To make it vegan, use brown sugar instead of honey, leave out the eggs and increase the soya beans or add tofu.

Tip: Got some Savoy cabbage leftover? For a great side dish, shred and stir-fry in oil with chopped garlic, ginger and chilli. Drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce to serve.
