Chicken and Bok Choy in Oyster Sauce


Chicken and Bok Choy in Oyster Sauce
Time for a Friday night takeaway cheat. We love Chinese food, even Bubba has developed an early taste for it. That might be due to how many times we visited our favourite Asian restaurants whilst I was pregnant; it was also the first restaurant we ventured out too when Bubba was only a few weeks old. Back then he would often sleep through the meal but now he would much rather be involved in the eating, throwing and playing of dinner. The other reason I love cooking Chinese at home is that it is so quick and flavourful, once you have a few store cupboard essentials stocked up it’s one the fastest meals to put together. I served this chicken with just plain brown rice but egg fried or noodles would taste as equally lovely. Hope you enjoy cooking and eating this.

Serves 2 with leftovers which taste great the next day
