Instructions

Heat a little oil in a wok and add the ginger, garlic, chilli and red pepper. Stir fry for a couple of minutes.
Add the soy sauce. Stir then add the ackee. Be very careful with the ackee so that it doesn't fall apart. Turn the heat down and cover the wok for about 4 minutes so the ackee is heated through.
Drizzle with the lime juice, top with the chopped coriander, spring onions and chopped peanuts.
Serve with rice.
