Slice the spring onions, ginger, red chilli, carrots and garlic.
Step 2.
Season the chicken thighs. Get a large frying pan on the heat and drizzle in some oil.

Pour the liquid out of the pan, wipe clean and return to the heat. Add a big splash of oil. Fry half the spring onions, garlic, ginger, chilli and carrots until softened.
Step 5.
Tip in the cooked rice, frozen peas and shredded chicken. Give everything a good mix together and cook for a couple of minutes to toast the rice.

Meanwhile beat the eggs, pour into the pan and stir to scramble. Season with soy sauce.
Step 7.
Divide the chicken fried rice between bowls and top with the remaining spring onions. Serve with lime wedges. Enjoy!

Found this rather bland unfortunately (used the 4 person quantities). The only change I made was substituting a few of the peas for sweetcorn, and a bit more soy sauce for flavour.
