  7. Add the bok choy and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the leaves have wilted.

  8. When the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Then mix the sesame oil and coriander into the rice. Sprinkle chopped pumpkin seeds on top

  9. To serve, spoon the rice onto serving plates and top with the chicken. Place the bok choy alongside.
