Method

  1. Mix the ginger, chilli, lime juice and soy sauce in a small bowl; set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the garlic slices and kale; stir-fry for 3-4 mins until the garlic is browned and crisp and the kale has wilted.
  3. Add the rice and most of the spring onions, then stir-fry for 3 mins or until heated through. Scrape everything to the sides of the pan to make a wide well in the centre, then add the beaten eggs and stir-fry for 2 mins to scramble.
  4. Pour over the soy sauce mixture and gently stir everything together. Cook for 2 more mins, then scatter with the remaining spring onions. Serve with the lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
