Method
- In a large bowl, mix the chicken with the ginger, two-thirds of the garlic, the zest and juice of 1 lime, the honey and soy sauce. Set aside for at least 10 mins.
- Pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs, then transfer to a bowl and cover with clingfilm. Pierce the clingfilm with a knife and microwave on full power for 7 mins or until piping hot*.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok over a medium high heat. Stir-fry the chicken for 4-5 mins until cooked through, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- Mix all the ingredients for the dressing with the remaining garlic, the juice of 1 lime, the finely chopped chilli and 2 tbsp water, stirring well, then set aside.
- To serve, divide the whole and chopped lettuce between 4 bowls and add the cauliflower rice and carrot. Drizzle over the dressing, then top with the sticky chicken. Scatter the spring onions, sliced chilli and coriander over the rice, then serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
