- Gently heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan. Add the onion, ginger, garlic, and chili.
- Season and cook over a low heat for 4–5 minutes to soften. Add the flour and spices and stir well.
- Remove from the heat and blitz to a paste in a blender or food processor. Return to the heat and add the stock, stirring continuously. Set to one side.
- Add the remaining oil to a new pan and cook the chicken on a high heat, turning to seal the edges. Pour the sauce over the chicken and bring to the boil, then cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through. Add more water if needed during cooking.
- Cook the rice according to pack instructions.
- Add the bok choy to the chicken 5 minutes before the end.
- Serve with the rice and sprinkled with the cashew nuts.
