3 Add remaining oil, onion and carrot to wok and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add zucchini and snow peas and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add cabbage and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until just wilted. Return chicken to wok. Add reserved sauce mixture and stir well to combine. Divide rice and stir-fry among four bowls. Serve sprinkled with peanuts.

HFG tip

Cutting the chicken and all the veg into similarly small, bite-sized pieces helps to ensure everything cooks evenly and quickly.
