Method
1. Cut the chicken thighs in half so that you end up with 6 pieces.
2. Stir together soy sauce, rice wine, cornstarch, sesame oil, and salt in a large bowl
until smooth, then add chicken, mushroom caps, spring onions, and ginger and toss
well to coat. Marinate at room temperature, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
3. Put rack into wok and add enough water to reach just below it. (If using a steamer
insert, use approximately 4 inches of water.) Cover wok (or skillet) and bring water
to a boil. Transfer chicken mixture to pie plate and put in wok (or skillet), then
steam, covered, stirring once, until chicken is just cooked through, about 25
minutes.
4. While chicken is steaming, cook boc choy, uncovered, in a pan of (unsalted) boiling
water until just tender, 7 to 9 minutes, then
drain in a colander.
5. Carefully remove pie plate from wok. Arrange
boc choy around edge of a large deep platter
and spoon chicken and sauce in centre.
