Method

1
To prepare the chicken breasts, slice them into strips and place in a mixing bowl
2
Add all ingredients (except the pak choi) to the bowl
3
Mix well to cover the chicken and leave to marinate for 1 hour
4
Once ready to cook, place a wok or frying pan over a high heat. Add the chicken strips gradually, without stirring - they need to be left still to caramelise on the outside
5
Once caramelised and golden, turn over the strips and cook to reach the same colour on the other side, ensuring they are cooked through
6
Pick 6 pak choi leaves from the head and add to the chicken. Stir well to wilt and coat the leaves in pan juices
7
Divide the chicken and pak choi between 2 plates and spoon over the pan juices. Serve immediately with rice
