Method
- 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.
- 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.
- Cover with foil, and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil, stir, then bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Squeeze over the lime juice and serve warm, garnished with the remaining herbs, and the lime wedges alongside. Remove the chillies before serving.
