Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. In a frying pan over a high heat, fry the onion, garlic and ginger in the oil for 3 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  2. Add the pak choi, sweetcorn and all of the remaining ingredients (except a small handful of herbs and the lime juice and wedges) to an ovenproof dish. Season, mix well, then pour over the cooked onion mixture and mix again.
