Method

Heat oils in a wok or non-stick pot over high heat. Add chicken (or prawns or tofu), ginger and chilli and cook for about 3 minutes or until chicken is just cooked.
Add rice, carrot and green onion tops to the stir-fry and cook over high heat for a further 3 minutes. Drizzle with the ketjap manis, soy sauce and lime juice and stir-fry until the rice is thoroughly heated through (about 5 minutes).
Top each serve of rice with a lightly fried egg and serve with the garnishes you please.

Hints

To cook the rice, just add 1½ cups of brown rice to 3 cups of water, cover and either cook on the stovetop or in a microwave for 30 minutes. Keep covered for at least 15 minutes then when completely cool preferably refrigerate overnight or use.
You could use left-over cooked chicken, seafood or pork instead of fresh chicken. Just add it in when you add the rice to the stir-fry.
You can add extra low FODMAP vegetables such as green beans, bok choy, common or Chinese cabbage, red capsicum or whatever takes your fancy. Remember to check the App or booklet for serving sizes.
