Chinese Cabbage

500g Pak Choi
1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
3 Spring Onions, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh Ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
Chicken Stock
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Chillie Powder
2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1] Slice the Pak Choi length ways into thin strips.
2] Heat the Oil in a non stick pan and quickly fry the Spring Onions, Ginger and Garlic.
3] Add the Pak Choi, Stock, salt and Chillie Powder.
4] Cook until the Pak Choi is still a bit crunchy, a couple of minutes.
5] When ready to serve, stir in the Vinegar.

The amount of Stock used here is flexible. You can use a little to keep the dish dry, or use lots of stock which leaves you with a really tasty sauce to wet the rice with.
