Method

Step 1

Preparation: Boil the kettle. Prepare all ingredients as indicated above.

Step 2

Lime: Using the fine side of a box grater, grate the peel to create zest. Cut in half and juice.

Step 3

Brown rice: Pour boiling water (see quantity above) into a pot and add the rice with a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, cover and gently simmer for 18-20 minutes on low heat. Drain if there is any excess water.

Step 4

Bacon bits: Place a pan on high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Coat the bacon in Chinese Five Spice and add to the hot pan. Cook for 7-9 minutes until very crispy and brown.

Step 5

Slaw: Slice the apple thinly and mix with the red cabbage, carrots, coriander, mayonnaise, lime juice and lime zest. Add chilli if you like the heat and season to taste with a little salt.
