    ~12 min

    Meanwhile, whisk together the {Soy sauce}, {Mirin}, {Honey}, {Sesame oil}, {Cornstarch}, grated {Garlic}, and {Ginger} with 3 tbsp water until smooth.

    ~4 min

    Heat the {Vegetable oil} in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and nearly cooked through. Add the white parts of the spring onion and the bok choy, then cook for 3 minutes until the bok choy is just tender.
