2 tbsp sunflower oil

1 large onion, halved and sliced

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

5 cm piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped

4 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

300 g pak choi, trimmed, leaves separated and larger leaves halved

2 tbsp sesame seeds

2 tsp cornflour

1 tbsp soy sauce, plus extra to serve

3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

1 tbsp lemon juice

egg noodles or rice, cooked, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan. Add the onion and stir-fry for 5 mins until turning golden. Add the garlic, ginger, chicken, pak choi and sesame seeds, and stir-fry for 5 mins or until the chicken is cooked.
