Butterfly the chicken breasts and chop into small strips. Add a small amount of oil to a wok on a medium to high heat and add the chicken seasoned with salt & pepper; frying for around 8 mins until the chicken has browned and cooked through.

Step 3:

While the rice is cooking, heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil together in the wok and then add the tender stem broccoli and stir-fry it on a high heat for about 3 minutes .

Step 4:

To the wok, add the garlic, chilli and ginger; then stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Add the pak choi leaves and the soy sauce and stir-fry all together for another 2-3 minutes until the pak choi leaves begin to wilt slightly. Add the chicken back into the wok and stir together for 2 minutes.

Step 5:

Remove the wok from the heat. Add the rice to the serving bowls and place the stir-fry on top. Finish with a little extra soy sauce over the top and enjoy!
