1 Season the chicken, piercing several times with a sharp knife. Put into a non-metallic dish. Drizzle over the teriyaki sauce, onion, garlic, lemongrass, oil and lime juice. Cover and chill for at least 1 hr, or up to 12 hrs.

2 Rinse the rice in cold water, drain and put into a pan. Pour over 450ml (¾pt) cold water and add a pinch of salt. Cover and bring to the boil. Stir to prevent rice from sticking. Reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 mins. Remove from the heat and stand, covered, for a further 10 mins, to allow the rice to steam and finish cooking.

3 Heat a non-stick wok, or frying pan, add the marinated chicken and pan-fry for 5 mins, cover and cook for 5 more mins until the chicken is golden.

4 Add the Tenderstem broccoli to one part of the pan, cover and cook for 2 more mins, add the spring onion and cook for 1 min. Microwave the carrots with 2tbsp water for 2 mins.

5 Mix rice vinegar and honey through the cooked rice.
