This is a combination of two recipes from taste.com.au that the DH and I combined to come up with something we both really like. The night we made it we had several dishes on the go and I was prepping for them as well so times are estimated to if you were only cooking this dish UPDATE - o'kay making this once again I have added other vegies tonight which were some julienned carrot, broccoli and cauliflower flowerettes and snow peas and served on top of some hokien noodles - just a variation. ANOTHER UPDATE - we tried this tonight Have now tried with beef, rump strips (possibly could be better to beat out and cut into strips though we think. depending on the quality of your rump) and added 3/4 teaspoons chinese five spice to step 2 but would suggest 1/2 teaspoon) but still thoroughly enjoyed and we are smacking our lips still 2 hours later.

Delicious! I subbed celery for the choy sum and it was good in it. I also doubled the basil and cashews. The whole dish was really yummy. I think this would also be great with shrimp, pork or veggie crumbles instead of the chicken.

Amazing Pat! I halved the recipe but left the sauce alone.....I wanted lots of sauce. I couldn't find choy sum or baby bok choy, so used regular bok choy. I used hot red chile peppers, and they added the perfect heat. This makes a lot! Even halving the recipe, I had enough for 6 servings. I served it over jasmine rice, and it was delicious! I can imagine that this would be delicious with lots of different veggies, and can't wait to try them. Thanks for sharing. Made for Rookie Tag game!
