Line a bamboo steamer with baking paper. Place the chicken on top, reserving the marinade. Bring the water to a boil in a wok, then place the steamer over the wok. Cover and steam the chicken for 6 min, then turn over and steam for a further 6 min. Place the bok choy on top of the chicken and steam 2-3 min.

Meanwhile, place the reserved marinade, mushrooms and their soaking liquid in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Add enough stock to the cornstarch in a small bowl to make a smooth paste. Add the cornstarch paste and remaining stock to the pan and stir for 2 min over medium heat or until sauce thickens.
