Instructions

Cook the Rice

1

Pour the water (see ingredients for amount) into a large saucepan and bring to the boil. When boiling, stir in the rice and a pinch of salt, lower the heat to medium and pop a lid on the pan. Cook for 10 mins, then remove from the heat and set aside (still covered) for another 10 mins or until ready to serve. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam.

Cook the Chicken

2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add the diced chicken and stir-fry until golden all over and cooked through, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.

Prep Time

3

While the chicken is cooking, prep the bok choy. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Peel and grate the ginger. Zest the lime then cut into wedges. Trim the bok choy then thinly slice widthways.

Add the Bok Choy

4

Add the Chinese five spice, garlic and ginger and a splash of water to the chicken and cook, stirring for 1 min. Add the bok choy to the pan, stir and cook for 4 more mins before adding the soy sauce and half the lime juice. Let the mixture bubble for a final minute, season to taste and remove from the heat.

Finish the Rice

5

Fluff up the rice with a fork then fold through the remaining lime zest. Season with salt and pepperto taste.

Serve

6

Divide the zesty rice between your plates. Top with the chicken and bok choy and serve with the lime wedges for squeezing over. Enjoy!
