Stir fries are quick and healthy, the transformation of raw vegetables into something deeply pleasurable happens in a matter of minutes.

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into thin strips (370g)
  • 4 pak choi (450g), washed and cut into quarters lengthwise
  • 1 sweet potato (500g), peeled and cut into thin chips
  • 1 red onion(60g), peeled, halved and sliced.
  • 1 solo garlic (20g), peeled and chopped.
  • 1 piece of fresh ginger (30g), peeled and shredded .
  • 1 red chilli (16g), deseeded and shredded.

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a wok or large pot and add the chicken and sliced onion.
  2. Add the sweet potato, quickly followed by the pak choi, chilli, garlic and ginger.
  3. Add a splash of water before turning all the vegetables around.
  4. Cover the wok/pot with a lid for 2 minutes over a high heat.
  5. Add the soy sauce, salt and pepper then cook for 1 more minute until the soy sauce coats the vegetables.
  6. Season and serve. I like to serve this over a bowl of steaming Thai jasmine rice.
