Method

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok over a medium heat. Toss the chicken with the turmeric, then stir-fry for 5-6 mins until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Add the garlic, ginger, coriander stalks and chilli paste; cook for 1 min. Add the spring onion whites and asparagus; fry for 2 mins. Stir in the rice and cook for 5 mins or until piping hot. Stir in the soy sauce and chicken; cook for 2 mins more, stirring.
Meanwhile, heat the extra 2 tsp oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Crack in the eggs; fry for 3 mins or until crispy around the edges with a runny yolk.
Serve the rice topped with the eggs. Finish with the spring onion greens, coriander leaves and lime.
