Method

  • step 1

    Blitz the broccoli stalks in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the florets and pulse again to achieve a rice-like texture.

  • step 2

    Lightly toast the cashews in a wok or frying pan, then tip onto a plate and set aside. Heat the oil in a pan over a high heat and add the ginger, onion, pepper, carrot, garlic and chilli. Stir-fry for 2-3 mins until starting to brown, then put a lid on and cook for another 2 mins.

  • step 3

    Add the broccoli and 3 tbsp water and stir-fry for 3 mins until all the veg is tender. Pour in the tamari, lime juice and zest and coriander, stir well, then pour in the eggs and stir-fry very briefly to just set. Serve with the cashews, extra coriander and extra sliced chilli scattered over, if you like.

Recipe tip

Chopping cruciferous veg enhances the levels of beneficial compounds called glucosinolates, which have cancer-protective properties.

I wish I could prepare all those ingredients in 15 minutes! It took me about 45. However, I really liked the combination of flavours, which I shall use again but I think I'd rather do it as fried RICE and make better use of my lovely broccoli elsewhere. To speed it up a bit, and to add some green in…

Made this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it, very fresh and zingy flavours. I did use 20g ginger, 5 garlic cloves and a very large lime. Will definitely make again.

Smells horrible, tastes a bit better than it looks. Won't be making it again.

Found this much nicer cold the next day, like a cous cous salad, and the flavour developed overnight.

Found the meal bland unfortunately. Tasted like it needed a bit something else ..not quite sure what though.
