A little bit of China

Ingredients:
500g chicken breasts
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp cornflour (or normal flour)
2 tbsp honey
2 lemons, zested and juiced
125ml chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
5 cm piece root ginger, grated
1 red chilli, finely chopped
250g chinese greens, such as pak choi roughly chopped
basmati rice, to serve

1. Slice the chicken into strips and put in a bowl. Pour 2 teaspoons of the soy and 1 tablespoon of the cornflour over and toss well, leave to marinate while you mix the sauce: in a small bowl combine the remaining soy and cornflour, honey, lemon zest and juice and the stock, then set aside.

2. Heat a wok until very hot. Add half the oil and all the ginger and chilli. Fry for 1-2 minutes until the chilli has softened, then tip in the remaining oil. Add the chicken and stir-fry quickly so it doesn't stick. Cook for 5 minutes until done, then add the chopped greens and sauce mixture. Stir for 2-3 mnutes until the sauce has thickened and the greens have wilted. Serve with basmati rice and a lot of water.

Enjoy!
