Heat a wok over high heat and add the oil. When it begins to boil, add the garlic and ginger paste.
You are working at high heat here so continue stirring continuously so that nothing sticks to the bottom. Add your diced carrots.
After about a minute, stir in the asparagus, broccoli, onion, chillies and soy sauce. Continue stirring!
Now add the turmeric, curry powder and cumin powder and stir it all up.
The vegetables should be just about cooked through after another minute. Stir in the rice. You need to stir fast so that the rice is nicely coated and doesn’t stick to the bottom of your wok.
Squeeze the lime juice over the top, check for seasoning and serve.
