  5. Chop the garlic, rinse and julienne the bok choy, and dice the pineapple.

  10. Preheat a skillet or wok for around 2 minutes without any oil in it.
  11. After about 2 minutes coat the inside with about 1 Tbsp sesame oil and continue to heat for another minute.
  12. Toss in the garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and some soy sauce.
  13. Stir fry this mix for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the bok choy stalks, pineapple, red dragon peppers and apples, stir frying for another 3 more minutes.
  14. Add the chicken and 2nd half of the marinade, stirring until it starts to glaze.
  15. Add the ribboned bok choy leaves and fry until wilted.
