Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by marinating the chicken slices in a bowl. Combine the soy sauce and grated ginger, mixing well. Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. This marinades the chicken, making it tender and flavorful.
2. 2.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the marinated chicken slices. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch for a light golden brown color and ensure the chicken is cooked through. Adjust the heat if the chicken starts to brown too quickly, as you want it to cook evenly.
3. 3.
   In the same pan, add the remaining teaspoon of sesame oil. Introduce the chopped bok choy and stir to mix with the chicken juices. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bok choy is bright green and tender-crisp. If the bok choy wilts or becomes too soft, reduce the heat to prevent overcooking.
4. 4.
   Once both the chicken and bok choy are cooked, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. You can add more soy sauce if you prefer a saltier flavor, or a splash of water if you need more moisture.
5. 5.
   Plate the chicken and bok choy immediately while hot. For an extra layer of flavor, you can garnish with sesame seeds or a squeeze of lemon juice.
