Method

Cook the rice according to the packet instructions, then drain and leave to cool. If you spread it across a plate, it will cool more quickly.
Crush the peanuts in a pestle and mortar. Deseed and finely slice the red pepper. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Peel and finely chop or grate the ginger.
Prep the carrots, onion, cabbage and broccoli – trim and peel as appropriate, then coarsely grate it all on a box grater leaving a few small broccoli florets whole. Remove any chicken skin and thinly slice, then shred the chicken.
Put a large non-stick frying pan or wok on a high heat with ½ a tablespoon of oil. (It’s best to stir-fry no more than two portions at a time, so you have enough room to keep everything moving around the pan.)
Sprinkle in half of the garlic, ginger, chicken and skin, and stir-fry until everything is really crispy.
Stir in half of the prepped veg, broccoli florets, pepper, mangetout and prawns and toss well over the heat for a couple of minutes, until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
Add half the cooled rice and hoisin sauce and stir-fry for a few minutes, until the rice is hot through, then season to perfection.
Divide between two plates, sprinkle over half the nuts and two lucky people can tuck in right away, while you repeat with the rest of the ingredients.

EASY SWAPS

Wholegrain rice would also be delicious here, and would give you a boost on the nutrition front. Or, you could use a couple of pouches of cooked rice instead.
Feel free to mix up the vegetables – mange tout, frozen peas, green beans, pak choi, you name it. As long as it’s got crunch, it’ll work a treat.
I’ve gone for leftover chicken thighs and some prawns in this recipe, but you can absolutely swap in whatever you have – smoked ham, or any leftover roast meat would be delicious.
You can switch out the peanuts for cashew nuts, or even seeds, such as sesame or flax.
If you don’t have hoisin sauce, feel free to use black bean or BBQ sauce.
