Stir fry for 1 minute then add the broccoli and baby corn and stir fry for a further 4 minutes. Add the spring greens, spring onions and rice then continue cooking for another 4 minutes. Move all of the vegetable rice over to one side of the pan. Add 1⁄2 tablespoon soya sauce to the eggs then tip the egg mix into the empty side of the pan. Scramble to your liking then toss together with the rice.
Sprinkle over a little sesame oil, scatter over the coriander leaves and serve with wedges of lime.
