Method
- Heat a glug of oil in a large wok over a high heat and cook the shallots until soft. Meanwhile put the chicken in a medium mixing bowl and coat it in the honey.
- Add the garlic, ginger and chilli to the shallot pan and cook for another minute, stirring constantly, then add the chicken and fry for 5-8 minutes or until cooked through. Tip out onto a plate and keep it to hand.
- Tip the eggs into the pan, let them set slightly, then stir until completely cooked. Return everything to the pan, add the rice and fry, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, peas and spring onions with a pinch of black pepper, then fry for 2 minutes. Stir in the coriander, scatter over some cashews and serve with lime wedges.
