So much possibility ahead, so many aspirations and resolutions. September should really be more depressing than January. It&#8217;s only in September when you realise you haven&#8217;t done any of the things you planned and it&#8217;s too late to bother anyway.

Once they start to pop, add the garlic and chilli and stir fry for 30 seconds before adding the greens. Keep stirring until wilted and deep green. Uncover the rice and leave for a minute, then run it through with a fork to fluff it up.
