Get the rice going

  • Cook the rice in boiling water for 25-30 mins, then drain.

Prep & soften

  • Meanwhile, boil a kettle.
  • Peel the onions and cut each into 8 wedges. Slice the spring onions into 2cm pieces. Trim the pak choi and cut into bite-size pieces.
  • Spritz a large non-stick saucepan with cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Fry the onions, spring onions and pak choi for 3-4 mins.

Build your broth

  • Squeeze in the ginger & garlic paste and fry for 1 min.
  • Add the stock powder, pour in 700ml boiled water (1.2 litres for 4 portions) and sprinkle in the tamari and fish sauce. Stir well, add the turkey and simmer for 12-15 mins until the turkey is cooked through.

Add some zing!

  • Remove the broth from the heat and squeeze in the juice from half the lime (to taste).
  • Thinly slice the chilli (deseed for less heat), and cut the unsqueezed lime half into wedges.

Dish up

  • Divide the rice between bowls, add the turkey and veg, then pour over the broth.
  • Combine the coriander and mint, then divide into 2 bunches and add a bunch to each bowl. Sprinkle over the sliced chilli (to taste) and serve with the lime wedges.
