Method

  1. Cook the rice to pack instructions. Mix the soy sauce, honey, lime zest and 3 tbsp water in a jug and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok over a high heat and fry the mince for 5-6 mins, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, crispy and cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining oil to the wok and reduce the heat to medium-high. Stir-fry the carrots for 6-7 mins until golden, then add the spring onion whites, garlic and chilli and stir-fry for 1-2 mins until aromatic.
  4. Return the mince to the pan, add the soy mixture and bring everything to a simmer. Bubble for 2-3 mins until thickened and the carrots are tender but still retaining some bite. Divide the rice and sticky chicken among bowls and scatter with the spring onion greens and coriander. Serve with the lime wedges for squeezing over.
