Serves 2
Ingredients
- 300g of chicken mince
- 1 lime (just the juice)

Cooking Instructions
- Steam the plain white rice in a rice cooker or pot until ready (between 20 – 30 minutes).
- While the rice is cooking, heat a wok or a frying pan and add the chicken mince. Add a little water to prevent from becoming too dry.
- Stir the chicken until cooked.
- Turn the heat off.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir for a few seconds, so that all ingredients and chicken are mixed together well.
Serve with the steamed rice. You can have sliced cucumber on the side.
