Method
Prepare the Mash
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1 inch cubes and cook in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes or until just showing signs of softening. Drain the water and mash finely. In a small pan heat together the milk, butter, scallion, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and cook for 1 minute then pour over the potatoes and mix well. Keep warm.
To Cook the Chicken
Lightly toss the flattened chicken fillet in the balsamic vinegar then place on a pre-heated pan lightly brushed with olive oil. Cook over a medium heat allowing 4-5 minutes on each side depending upon the thickness of the fillet.
To Cook the Shanghai Pak Choy
Wash well and dry gently not to damage the tender leaves. Cut the pak choy lengthwise then place in a pan with 125ml water. Toss gently over a high temperature for 2-3 minutes until the stems are tender. Cooking time will vary with the size of this vegetable. When ready the water in the pan will almost have evaporated. Add the oil, finely chopped chilli, honey, soy sauce and chilli sauce. Simply heat through for 30 seconds then serve.
To Assemble this Dish
Place the scallion mash on a late. Top with the balsamic chicken then arrange the pak choy on top and pour over the sauce. Serve hot.
