INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 bunch bok choy, chopped with stems & leaves kept separate
  • 1 onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 small head broccoli, chopped in florets
  • 400g chicken thighs (or protein of choice), sliced
  • 300g rice
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoon ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 4 teaspoon white vinegar

METHOD:
  • Pick coriander leaves and finely chop stems, keeping stems and leaves separate.
  • Rinse the rice until water runs clear. Place in a small saucepan with 250ml water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook for 12 minutes until water is absorbed. Turn off the heat & stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl combine 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 teaspoons white vinegar, garlic, ginger and chilli flakes to create the garlic mixture.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in frypan over medium-high heat. Stir fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Transfer to bowl.
  • Wipe out frypan with paper towel and return to a high heat. Add the onion, carrot, broccoli and bok choy stems for 1-2 minutes before adding ginger mixture and continue to stir fry for another 3 minutes. In the final minute add chicken and bok choy leaves and cook until bok choy leaves are just wilted.
  • Serve on a bed of rice and garnished with fresh coriander leaves.
