Method
- Put the chicken in a bowl, add half the soy sauce and turn to coat. Heat the rapeseed oil in a nonstick frying pan or wok and cook the chicken for 5-6 mins over a high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and almost cooked through.
- Meanwhile, blitz the remaining soy sauce, spinach, garlic, ginger, sugar, vinegar and half the peanuts with 150ml water in a blender until smooth.
- Pour the sauce into the pan with the chicken and cook for 1-2 mins over a high heat, stirring until thickened slightly.
- Cook the rice to pack instructions. Serve the stir fry with the rice, carrots and scatter the remaining peanuts on top.
Tip: Switch up the protein for prawns or shredded beef, if you prefer or top with a jammy boiled egg for extra protein.
