  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry

  • 1 tablespoon cornflour
  • Wash the pak choi thoroughly under cold running water, rinse and drain. Pat dry with kitchen paper. Trim the stems from the pak choi, and shred the leaves.
  • Heat the stock in a large heavy saucepan. Add the pak choi and cook for 10–15 minutes.
  • Mix together the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and sherry in a small bowl.
  • Add this mixture to the stock, together with the chilli. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cook for 2–3 minutes.
