Step 1

Put the chef pan over a medium-high heat. Put the rice in the rice cooker with 3 cups of water and put the lid on. Microwave on high for 18 minutes.

Step 2

Cut the chicken into 3 pieces each. Put a tablespoon of oil into the pan and add the chicken. Leave the chicken for 3 minutes to brown. Combine the hoisin sauce, vinegar and soy sauce in the measuring jug. Turn the chicken over and pour the sauce all over it. Put the lid on the pan.

Step 3

Wash the pak choy to remove any grit. Cut into quarters lengthways. Remove the outer layer of the shallots and cut into 3 cm lengths.

Step 4

Put the wok over a medium-high heat. Toast the sesame seeds until light golden brown. This will only take moments. Remove from the wok to the bowl with a spatula. Crank the heat up and add the rest of the oil. Add the pak choy and toss with tongs until lightly coated. Add the shallots and 1/4 cup water. Remove the lid from the chicken and put it over the wok. Cook for about 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the pak choy has softened but still retains its vibrant green colour. Remove it from the heat.

Step 5

Give the chicken a bit of a stir. It should be cooked through and the sauce reduced to a lovely thick consistency. Place the vegetables on a platter and tip the chicken over the top, using a spatula to make sure none of the delicious sauce is wasted. Scatter with sesame seeds. Remove the rice from the microwave and fluff with a fork. Serve alongside the chicken platter.
